Free MLB Pick

Both Cease and Maeda should pitch well. The Sox had to fly from Pittsburgh yesterday and now have an early game today. That’s a rough spot, even for a professional athlete. Dylan Cease gave up zilch to the Twins last season and looked good in his first start. I couldn’t tell you who will win this game, because there’s really no advantage for either team. What I am confident in is that the game will be low scoring. I’m betting UNDER 7.5 runs.
