Free MLB Pick

In game four, the Diamondbacks will be looking for their bullpen to help them even the series, as Joe Mantiply will get the start. He has already pitched one scoreless innning in game one of the series. However, I’m counting on the Rangers lineup to swing the bats well today. My pick is to take Texas on the moneyline.
