Free MlB Pick
Randy Wolf will make his first MLB start since last season and only his seventh since 2012. Gollardo has been pitching OK on the road with a 3.53 Earned run average in 13 starts, but he doesn’t go deep into games and that bullpen of the Rangers is ranked 28th in baseball with a 4.45 ERA. These two teams haven’t been scoring in this series with a combined six runs scored, but we think that they make up for it here.
