Shane’s Free Pick

This game is going to be higher scoring. Corbin has had issues all season and the Braves have the best offense in baseball. The Braves are going to have no issue running up the score here. Morton is coming off a start where he really struggled and he’s going to have some issues again here. This game is going to be higher scoring and that will lead to this game going over the total. Back the over to cash.
