Free MLB Pick
The Mariners’ Olmos was okay in his only MLB start, but he did walk five and with five hits added his WHIP was 2.0. He may improve her, but we like Brooks who is 1-0 at home this season in two starts with a nice 2.41 earned run average. He has pitched well in every start of his career that hasn’t come against the Jays.
