THE PICK:

Free MLB Pick – Take Chicago White Sox over Baltimore (8:10 p.m., Friday, June 24)

It is Game 2 of a four-game set between American League clubs Baltimore and Chicago. The scheduled starting pitchers are Kyle Bradish (1-4, 7.38 ERA) for the Orioles and Michael Kopech (2-3, 2.38) for the White Sox. The Birds Bradish has lost his confidence and is really struggling with command, as his 1.77 WHIP points out. The O’s right-hander has conceded 64 hits in only 46 1/3 innings, and right-hand batters are hitting a hard-to-comprehend .402 against him. Kopech is the complete opposite of his mound counterpart, permitting just 31 base knocks in 56 2/3 innings, and his WHIP is under 1.00. The Pale Hose came into this season with high expectations after winning the AL Central with a young talent-laden club. Injuries have curtailed the offense and starting pitching, and there have been plenty of blunders on the field and the bases as well. Though Baltimore has played better than expected, this weekend is the White Sox's chance to start building momentum, and they win Friday night.

Analysis:

Comp Soccer pick from Doc’s Sports for Saturday: Spanish LaLiga Take Las Palmas/Valencia DRAW (+230) (12:30 p.m. EST, Saturday May 3) Valencia are the stronger side but they haven’t had the winning touch lately. They are coming off consecutive draws, and we think this one has a great chance to end up at a stalemate, and this is a great price for the draw. As of this writing, the under on total goals is juiced at -130 at 2.5, so a low scoring match is expected and we agree. So we have a couple chances at 0-0 or 1-1 for the under if it is indeed a low scoring match. Las Palmas has a single goal in their last two matches, and Valencia have scored one goal in three straight matches. We also like to target the draw in a likely low scoring match when the stronger team is the road side, and that is the case here on Saturday. Valencia have the second highest draw rate in LaLiga, as more than a third of their matches have ended tied. Again, nice value here and we think this one has a great chance to cash at a hefty price.
