Free MLB Pick

Braves starter Bryce Elder has been really impressive in allowing ZERO runs in three of his first four starts. The Braves sticks are heating up with seven and eleven runs in their last two games. Sandy Alcantara was lights out last season, but has started off slow in 2023. He’s had sub-par outings in three of his first four starts. Marlins bats have been known to disappear on the road too.
