Free MLB Pick
Texas starter Matt Harrison may well improve in his second MLB start after being away for over a year, but we’ll wait until he proves that he has Major League stuff before wagering in that direction. Rockies’ starter Kyle Kendrick has gone five consecutive starts without recording a Q start and brings an embarrassing 6.54 home ERA into this match. The total number is a high 11, but we still believe that is value in that line based on the probable starters for this game.
