Free MLB Pick

I like the Marlins whether Harris or Fujinami starts. What I really like about this game is that Oakland strikes out a ton and Edward Cabrera misses bats. I maintain that once Cabrera gets some experience under his belt, he may vie for the league lead in strikeouts. He still needs to gain a couple seasons of experience though. But for tonight, it’s a dreamy matchup as Oakland has a stagnant offense, strikes out a ton and Cabrera has electric stuff. I’m laying the wood with the Marlins at -198!
