Free MLB Pick

Matt Harvey takes the mound for the Mets tonight and they have won both of their playoff games when he has gotten the start. In his last outing he gave up 2 earned runs in 7 innings in a 4-2 win over the Chicago Cubs. New York has won 5 of their last 7 games with Harvey on the hill. Edinson Volquez goes for the Royals tonight and they have lost 2 of their 3 playoff games with him getting the start. In his last outing he gave up 5 earned runs in 5 innings in a 7-1 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. Both of his losses in the playoffs were on the road and Kansas City has won 8 of their last 10 games when he has gotten the start at home. They are 2-5 overall in Volquez’s last 7 starts.

I think the Mets will continue their great play and Harvey will have a good start with the Mets taking Game 1 of this series.
