Free MLB Pick
The historical batter vs. pitcher stats suggest that a play on the OVER would be a successful bet, but we’re going to go the other way in this spot. Neither one of these teams has been putting up many runs on the board with the Indians scoring 3.71 runs per game which is skewed by a 12 run game against KC and the Angels 2.85 runs per game in their last seven games. Danny Salazar comes into the game ultra-sharp with an impressive 0.77 WHIP and 2.18 ERA in his last three and Angels’ starter Hector Santiago who is coming off a poor performance on the road against the Dodgers but has been impressive at home with a 2.44 ERA in 12 starts.
