Baltimore Orioles vs Chicago White Sox Free Pick
Chicago has struggled early this season and Kopech is an example of their difficulties. He couldn’t throw strikes in his season debut and was quickly overthrown by Giants pitchers. As we saw against the Athletics earlier this week, Baltimore is more than capable of posting offensive numbers that defy logic. Kopech should give Baltimore an advantage as they try to maintain control of their lineup once again. The Orioles are the best MLB bet today to claim the victory.
Free Pick: Baltimore Orioles -1.5 (+140)
