Shane’s Free Pick

This game is going to be lower scoring. Gausman is going to be lights out here against a Yankees offense that has been inconsistent. King hasn’t been getting a ton of run support and it’s going to be no different here. King is going to step up here, and that will be the difference though as this game is going to be lower scoring. Back the under to cash here.
