Free MLB Pick
The Braves give the ball to Michael Soroka to make his second start of the season. He was really good back in 2019, but he’s been dealing with Achilles injuries issues since. His opener was an okay six innings pitched, allowing four runs, but he was facing the A’s. The Diamondbacks send out Zac Gallen who has been amazing at home this season, going 6-0 with a 0.66 ERA and a perfect 6-for-6 in quality starts. Atlanta has been very good on the road this season , but not so much lately, with a 4-7 mark in their last 11. Arizona is solid at home with a 20-13 record and were winners of six straight before coming up short last night. Take the D-backs -130.
