Free MLB Pick

he San Diego Padres are third in Major League Baseball in home runs vs. left-handed pitchers. They’ll face southpaw Cory Bradford on Sunday afternoon at Petco Park, who has allowed eight dingers in only 37 innings.

Blake Snell has a sub-1.00 ERA since May 24th. This streak spans over 12 starts and is one of the most unbelievable pitching runs we’ve seen this decade. The 30-year-old lefty has only allowed six earned runs over those 12 games. Even more amazing is that only two balls have left the yard during that span.

As luck would have it for the Rangers, they’re facing Snell during a cold streak in which they’ve lost six out of their last eight games. Texas has scored a grand total of one earned run over their last 22 innings.

Note: As of 3:51AM ET, no odds have been posted yet. I’m betting San Diego regardless of who Texas start. Football is coming! It’s a great day to read aboutt he benefits of reduced juice football betting!
