Heading into Sunday night’s game against the Philadelphia Phillies the Braves had a 31-21 record. The offense scored seven runs in the first inning against the Phillies. The Rockies are averaging 5.07 runs while their pitching is giving up 4.02 runs per game. The offense is ranked 5th while the pitching is ranked 6th.

On the mound for the Braves is Michael Soroka who has dealt with a ton of injuries during his baseball career, but he’s finally going to be able to get the start in this game.

The A’s sit with a 10-45 record overall and they are coming off another terrible loss on Sunday. The offense scored only a run and that led to the nine run defeat. The A’s are averaging 3.44 runs while their pitching is giving up 7.06 runs per game. The offense is ranked 29th in the league while the pitching is ranked 30th.

Shane’s Free Pick
Blackburn was one of the only bright spots for the A’s last year and I expect he’s going to get his season off to a good start. The A’s offense has been an issue all season and they aren’t going to get any type of offense going here. This game is going to be lower scoring and the under is going to cash here. This is one of my favorite plays on the board.
