Shane’s Free Pick
Joe Berrios had issues to start the season but he has been pitching better as of late and that is going to be the case again in this game. Elder has also been strong for the Braves and he sits with an ERA of 1.74. Both pitchers are going to lockdown here and that will lead to this game staying under the total.
