Free MLB Pick

The Twins have had some recent success but are 1-5 in their last six road games. Louie Varland got called up to make this start due to Mahle being put on the DL. Varland has good stuff and has missed bats in the minors, but as with all MLB players, there’s a learning curve and he’ll be up against it against a White Sox team coming off the skid and who have won two games in a row now. The Sox will send Dylan Cease to the mound. You may be down on him after he had two poor starts in a row, but chalk that up to an enigma, because for whatever reasons, the Tampa Bay Rays hit him well. He’s been dominant against all other teams this season. We’ll never see him at this cheap of a price for the rest of the season, so I’m all over the Sox!
