Shane’s Free Pick
Chase Anderson looked good in the last game giving up zero runs but he still sits with an ERA of 6.26. Cueto has also had his issues all season and it's going to be no different in this game. Both offenses haven't been great overall this season, but this game is going to be all about the bad pitching. Back the over to cash here.
