Free MLB Pick

The Marlins have dropped three in a row and the Red Sox are at home and have won seven of their last ten games overall. So you’d think that Boston would be the call here, but it’s not ours. Tom Koehler has been sharp in his last three with a 3-0 record pitching 20 innings and allowing four runs. He hasn’t pitched as well on the road this season going 3-3 with a 5.56 ERA and he’ll be making his first start of his career against Boston. That said he has pitched well against the Red Sox batters holding the four batters to .143 batting average in 21 at bats. For the home team Rick Porcello gets the ball and he’s been a poor 3-4 at home in seven starts with a 4.93 earned run average. He’s sandwiched two poor performances around a Q start allowing 16 runs in 13 innings over his last three starts. Porcello also has subpar stats against the Marlins’ roster with the current team holding a lifetime .347 batting average against him.
