Free Baseball Pick: Minnesota Twin -127 (Tony George)
Many are going to say KC’s bullpen will blow it again, and while Zach has looked solid this year, his bullpen let him down, and no doubt along the way, KC will have issues blowing games late. That being said, KC off a solid series against Detroit winning the series 2-1. The Royals also found some bats and offense along the way and they will need it in this series to contend.

All those nice things said about my hometown Royals does little to sway me away from Minnesota here. They have OWNED the Royals winning 8 out of the last 9, and have a great home field advantage winning 12 out of their last 15 games. The bats of Minny also are a huge concern against KC, although KC has the stronger numbers on offense with batting avergae as a team, I do not see KC winning back to back road games in 2 different cities in 2 days, and honestly Baker will give them issues. Look no farther than the bullpen numbers, Minny’s bullpen under a 3 ERA and Kansas Citys 7.31. Enough Said.

Free Baseball Pick: San Francisco Giants +141 (Craig Trapp)
Hard to imagine that one of the hottest teams in MLB are this big of an underdog. Wellmeyer takes the mound for SF today trying to keep up the great string of pitching that SF has put up early this season. Padilla takes the mound for the LAD for the 3rd time this year. His first two outting he did not make it to the 5th inning giving up 11 runs. Just as bad the bullpen for the LAD has been very shaky giving up at least one HR in the last three games with a 5.81 ERA. Bad combination here as Padilla will not go deep and the bullpen will be beat up again. SF hitters are on fire nearly hitting .300 as a team. This SF team is built on pitching and defense but now are hot at the plate too. Way too much here, and great value take the underdog GIANTS!
