Free MLB Pick
[10:08:13 AM] Gary G: Dan Haren’s first start with the Cubs was mediocre pitching 5 innings and giving up four runs (3 earned) on 7 hits. Brewers’ starter Taylor Jungmann has been good this season going 6-3 with a 2.26 earned run average in 11 starts and has performed well on the road with an 83.3 Q start percentage and a 2.36 ERA.
The road team has fared well in this series going 7-3 and the value is certainly there on a team that has gone 5-1 in Jungmann’s road starts.
