Shane’s Free Pick

Reese Olson has been good heading into this game and he’s going to lockdown again in this game. The Reds bats are going to really struggle to get anything going, and that is going to be the difference here. The Tigers will give Olson enough run support here for the Tigers to pick up a victory. At this point it’s about gaining momentum for next year, and the Tigers will gain a step up towards that.
