Free MLB Pick

Marlins’ starter Tom Koehler has been sharp in recent outings stringing together four consecutive Q starts. However, his historical stat line against the Phillies active roster is poor with the Philadelphia batters hitting a lifetime .309 in 81 at bats. The Phillies counter with Chad Billingsley who has good history against the marlins roster, but most of that came years ago. His MLB comeback has not been impressive with a 1-3 record and 6.75 ERA in six starts. We get an over favoring umpire behind home plate and the wind is currently blowing out.
