Free MLB Pick
Two teams on losing streaks but the Reds are on an extended nine gamer! They scored seven runs two back but haven’t but they haven’t been scoring with an average of 2.77 over their last nine matches. The Tigers could manage only nine runs over a four game set against the Rangers, but they battled some tough pitchers in the series. They face on paper a much easier starter tonight, with Keyvius Sampson and his 4.43 ERA in four starts and one relief appearance. The Tigers send out Buck Farmer who does have a nasty 8.39 ERA in a mix of starts and relief appearances. He hasn’t started since the end of July but it must be noted that he while his three starts this season were not good, he did improve in each one. We’ll fade the Reds one more time.
