Free MLB Pick
Even though the Marlins have a chance to solidify their spot as the final Wild Card in the NL with a win over the Pirates. I see Pittsburgh stealing a win today. JT Chargois is slated to get the start and has been used out of the bullpen all season long. I’m taking the Pirates on the moneyline in this one.
