Shane’s Free Pick

This game is going to be lower scoring. Burnes has been really good heading into this game and he’s going to lockdown again in this game. Kopech has also been better as of late and he’s going to lockdown again in this game. Both offenses are going to really struggle to get going against Burnes and Kopech and that is going to be the difference as this game stays under the total.
