Free MLB Pick: Milwaukee at Detroit

Burnes strikeout numbers per 9 innings pitched this season are among the best in all of baseball. He will face a Detroit Tigers offense whose numbers against righties are around 35 points lower than lefties and only 3 points higher than last year's .235 BA versus them. The Tigers will go with starter Matthew Boyd who is pitching a lot better of late with a 2.60 ERA in his last three starts. Even more impressive for Boyd is the fact he's posted 20 strikeouts to just 1 walk in those last 3 starts, and since August 17th his K%-BB% is at an eye popping +30% overall, which ranks 7th best in all of MLB during this time. With this being an afternoon getaway game for both teams, look for a sleepy offensive game and a low scoring affair.
