Shane’s Free Pick
Bobby Miller has been strong season this season sitting with an ERA of 2.45 and he’s going to lockdown again in this game. Dane Dunning sits with an ERA of 2.82 and he’s also going to slowdown the Dodgers offense. Both offenses are going to lockdown here, and the under is going to cash.
