Free MLB Pick
Both pitchers come into this game pitching pretty well with Yovani Gallardo going 3-0 with a 1.62 earned run average in his last three and Andrew Cashner going 1-1 with a 3.78 ERA. That said both starters have been giving up a lot of baserunners and that has us looking at the total. Before last night’s shutout loss by the rangers they had scored 4 or more runs in eight consecutive games and certainly the Padres bats could be considered hot with 16 runs scored in their last two games.
