Shane’s Free Pick

Jake Irvin is coming off a terrible start where he gave up six runs and his lack of scoring is going to let them down again in this game. The Padres offense hasn’t been great, but they are going to have a big game here, and that is going to be the difference here. Back the Padres on the run line. 

Shane’s Pick Padres -1.5
