ANDREW’S FREE PICK

I’m going to try the Dodgers in this one. The line's too thick to mess with, though. It’ll be interesting to see what Miller can do in his second game, though. He got a victory in Atlanta on May 23, posting five strikeouts in 5.0 innings of work. I like another solid performance in this one. On Sunday the Dodgers used a lot of pitchers (six in total) during a tough loss. That said, the offense worked pretty well, and four players had multiple hits. If Miller can get through five or six innings here I think the Dodgers will be set up well.
