Free MLB Pick

The Cleveland Guardians have won five of last six games and they’ve scored 10 runs in each of their last two games. They’ll have Triston McKenzie on the hill, who will be making only his second start of the season. He looked amazing in his first game. He went five innings and only allowed one hit, while fanning ten. With so few starts, we look to 2022 to see how he fares at Progressive Field and find that he had a nifty 2.77 ERA and held opposing hitters to a .198 average. Even more interesting than that, McKenzie pitched twice against the Astros where he stifled them over 15 innings, allowing only five hits, two walks and a .104 opposing average.

The Houston Astros have dropped four games in a row and five of their last six. Before last night’s nine run output, they had scored 2, 2 and 1 run in the previous three games. Dusty Baker will be throwing J.P. France, who has some really good numbers on the road this season, but has pitched against fairly weak competition or teams that were cold when he faced them.

I’ve mentioned this before and I’ll mention it again today. I know an ex-Major League closer and always quiz him looking for nuggets I can use when handicapping games. I once asked him what kind of emotional situations happen that can linger until the next day. Without hesitation, he said anytime they lost on the road in extra innings, they came out flat the next day. He said it was unbelievable how often it happened. I’m betting the Cleveland Guardians at -132 today. Bet your MLB picks for FREE this weekend by scoring a 50% real cash bonus up to $250 at the web’s best bookmaker —> Bovada Sportsbook!
