Mike Lundin Free Picks

The Nats are an amazing 17-5 against the runline as underdogs on the road this season. They’re 4-1 against the runline as road underdogs with Trevor Williams (2-2, 4.32 ERA) on the mound. Dodgers rookie right-hander Bobby Miller (1-0, 1.80 ERA) made his MLB debut on Tuesday at Atlanta. Sure, it was an impressive outing …

The Orioles will be looking to bounce back from a 12-2 loss to the Rangers, and I like their chances with Dean Kremer (5-1, 4.61 ERA) on the mound. The Orioles are 7-3 in his 10 starts on the season and Kremer is 2-0 with an ERA of 2.12 in his last three starts. The …

Red Sox left-hander Chris Sale (4-2, 5.01 ERA) has pitched better lately following a slow start to the year, but now he’s on the road where he has an ERA of 6.00 over 27 innings of work. The over/under is 3-1-1 in Sale’s five road starts for the season and here he’ll face an Arizona …

Mike Lundin’s MLB Free Pick May 23, 2023 The 35-14 Tampa Bay Rays are averaging 6.12 runs per nine innings, so you must like their chances to win no matter who they send to the mound. They defeated Toronto 6-4 with Trevor Kelley as the opener yesterday, and tonight they’ll hand the ball to Taj …

This looks like a good spot to back the Dodgers to bounce back from a 6-5 loss to St. Louis on Saturday. Cardinals right-hander Jack Flaherty (3-4, 5.24 ERA) is coming off seven scoreless innings in a 18-1 win over Milwaukee, but he had allowed 13 runs over just 7 2/3 innings in his previous …

Alek Manoah is not having a great year, coming into the weekend with a 1-4 record and a 5.40 ERA. It’s however worth noting that Manoah is 3-1 with an ERA of 2.87 and 51 strikeouts in 8 starts versus the Orioles in his career. Baltimore counters with rookie right-hander Grayson Rodriguez (2-1, 6.57 ERA) …

Detroit southpaw Matthew Boyd (2-3, 6.47 ERA) has had a rough start to the year, and here he’ll face a Nats team that is batting .289 while averaging 5.00 runs per nine innings against left-handers. Nationals rookie right-hander Jake Irvin (1-1, 4.11 ERA) had opened the season with two sold outings before getting slapped around by …

Both teams are 6-4 over their last 10 games, and the Yankees won the opener of this series 7-4 on Monday. Yankees right-hander Domingo German (2-3, 4.00 ERA) and Toronto righty Kevin Gausman (2-3, 3.38 ERA) numbers for the season are not all that different and this current Blue Jays roster is batting only .214 …

Texas left-hander Andrew Heaney (2-3, 5.25 ERA) has not had a great start to the year, but here he’ll face an A’s team that is 3-9 against left-handed starters on the season. Also worth noting is that Texas has scored two runs or fewer in four of its last six games overall while getting shut …

The Cardinals are 7-12 on the road while the Red Sox are 13-7 at home. Red Sox veteran left-hander James Paxton hasn’t started in a major league game since April 6, 2021 but I think he’ll come out focused here and the Cards are averaging only 3.79 runs per nine innings on the road. Cards …
