Free MLB Pick

The Phillies Bradley Fault has looked really solid this season in his two starts including one last week at home against the Reds. The Reds starter Nick Lodolo looked fabulous in the same game, pitching seven scoreless innings, striking out 12 and getting the no-decision in Cincinnati’s 3-2 loss. I prefer his experience and back numbers against the Phillies .184 BA in 49 AB and they’re at home laying a small number. Take Cincinnati -115.
