6 wins in a row on our free picks! We’re going back to the Cubs on this one and looking for a road underdog win today.
Today’s Free MLB Pick is:
Team Line Opponent
Cubs +104 at Phillies
The Cubs have Soriano back and they are poised to make a run at the pennant. They may be one offensive bat away from taking the division. Today they throw Ted Lilly against Rodrigo Lopez. Lilly has been strong this year and in his recent games. He’s only given up 3 free passes and has 20 strikeouts in his last 3 starts covering 21 innings. The Phillies sticks are strong, but I think Lilly can keep them in check today. Lopez is making his first start since coming out of his last game with shoulder problems. His 4.78 career ERA is a pretty good indicator that he’s not a top notch pitcher and most likely his days are numbered in the starting rotation, as Pedro Martinez will surely take his spot in the rotation. With the pressure to perform high and the shoulder issue looming, it could be a short outing for Lopez with Soriano and Lee looking to do some early damage. Take the Cubs +104 in this one.
