#MLB Free Pick from Mike Lundin
(MLB) Atlanta vs. Philadelphia,
Money Line: 130.00 Atlanta (Away)
Result: Win
Money Line: 130.00 Atlanta (Away)
Result: Win
Play: Atlanta Braves
Rating: 5*
Two of the worst teams in baseball will square up at Citizens Bank Park on Saturday when the 52-83 Atlanta Braves take on the 60-74 Philadelphia Phillies. Atlanta has been the hotter of the two teams lately though, and it defeated the Phillies 8-4 last night. I think this looks like a great price on Atlanta to notch another victory.
Vince Velasquez (8-6, 4.21) takes the ball for Philadelphia. He's 0-4 with a 5.76 ERA in his last eight starts (1-7 team record), and the 24 year old has been reached for 10 runs on 14 hits with five homers in 11 2/3 innings in his last two home starts. He's 0-1 in two starts against Atlanta this season while surrendering six runs on 13 hits through 12 innings of work.
The Braves turn to John Gant (1-3, 4.59 ERA) who will try to make a case for why he should be in the Atlanta rotation for 2017. Gant is making his first since returning from a left oblique strain that kept him on the disabled list for 58 days, but he has posted a 3.75 ERA in 24 innings of work on the road this season.
Pitching advantage Philadelphia, but then what? The team has lost eight of its last 10 games while Atlanta has won each of its last four and five of its last six.
Note that:
- Mike Lundin has a HUGE CARD posted for Saturday featuring CFB and MLB! The action starts early with his selection on Georgia Tech/Boston College from Dublin Ireland and continues with an afternoon selection on WMU/Northwestern. Wrap up the evening with Mike's *ALL LATE* 3-Pack featuring 1 CFB PICK & 2 MLB SELECTIONS, including Mike's Top Rated 10* MLB *BIG HITTER!
