Free MLB Pick
Both of today’s starters are not having banner years with the Orioles’ Chris Tillman bringing a 5.67 ERA into this game and the White Sox’ Jeff Samardzija compiling a better but still poor 4.56 earned run average. The pitcher’s historical stats against the current rosters of their opponent today are also subpar and we’re going to ignore Baltimore’s lack of scoring in recent games and lay our money on the over.
