Free Sports Picks by Tony T

Our free pick on Saturday will come from the American League contest between the Minnesota Twins and Oakland Athletics.

First pitch from Oakland is scheduled in the twilight of 9PM Eastern Time and you can watch it on the MLB package.

Getting the start for the Twins will be Francisco Liriano and he will oppose Trevor Cahill for the Athletics.

With our free pick we will play on the Minnesota Twins and Oakland Athletics to play under the total of 7 ½ runs.

Trevor Cahill has just been fantastic for Oakland. The right-hander has allowed just 1 earned run in each of his past three starts. Cahill allowed just 1 earned run over 7 innings pitched when he last faced the Twins.

He sits with an ERA of just 0.77 pitching in his pitcher friendly home park

Liriano has had 2 quality starts in a row in holding the Yankees to 2 earned runs and the Mariners to just 3. The Twins support Liriano with a good bullpen. He had pitched well against Oakland allowing a combined 4 earned runs in his past three starts against them working 18 innings.

Take the under as the start time at 6PM locally also helps our cause as the hitters will have to deal with shadows in the early part of this game.

Bet Minnesota Twins and Oakland Athletics under 7 ½ runs
