Shane’s Free Pick
The elevation in Mexico City throws everything else out of the window, and there is going to be no shortage of scoring in this game. These are both good pitchers but the elevation is going to be the big x-factor. Especially the Padres are going to continue the hot bats and the over is going to cash.
