MLB Picks

The Yankees likely haven’t named a starting pitcher, and therefore bookmakers are holding their odds, because they will use their opener strategy again. NY seems to have decided that it doesn’t have 5 starting pitchers, so it’s going to go with a four-man rotation but give each pitcher a full four days of rest by going with the opener strategy once every five days. In the last usage, it worked out nicely for the Yankees. Do they have enough to do the same against the Blue Jays? Darin has your MLB free pick!

With he sportsbooks making Boston a monster favorite, support is expected but should we lay $3.40 to win a buck? DJ gives you his MLB pick and analysis!

Two weeks ago, Max Fried on the mound at home was as much of a sure thing as an order of southern fried chicken. But Fried lost his last start at SunTrust Park to Washington and gave up nine hits in the process, and he hasn’t pitched well in either of his past two starts against Pittsburgh or Miami. While the Braves won both of those starts, and they were both on the road, the fact remains that Fried has given up 24 hits in his past 15.2 innings of work. Can bettors get behind Fried at -130 or is that too steep considering his recent production? DJ has your MLB pick
