Free MLB Pick

The Detroit Tigers may as well be swinging toothpicks because they’d have nearly the same result. The Tigers have scored one run or less in four out of their last five games! In the other game, they scored two! They’ll send Matthew Boyd to the mound, who has only pitched at Miller Park once but gave up three bombs in 4.2 innings. The Brewers have been playing decent baseball lately and have slept in their own beds for three or four nights in a row, which matters. Question: Do you live bet games?
