Friday MLB Free Pick
(The Spread) – Interleague play begins again in baseball tonight, as the Diamondbacks host the White Sox at 9:40PM ET.
Odds: Oddsmakers from online sports book Bodog have made the Diamondbacks –130 money line favorites over the White Sox, who are +126 on the ML. Tonight’s over/under total is currently listed at 9.5 runs.
Pitching Matchup: Ironically, the two pitchers that were traded for each other back in July of last year will go toe-to-toe tonight. On July 30, 200, the White Sox traded Daniel Hudson and minor league pitcher David Holmberg to the Diamondbacks for Edwin Jackson. On the year, Hudson is 7-5 with a 3.82 ERA, while Jackson is sporting a 4-5 record and a 4.39 ERA.
Public Betting: Of the nearly 8,000 wagers on tonight’s game, 63% of MLB public bettors currently favor the host Diamondbacks at –130 on the money line. This information is subject to change, however, so make sure you check out our MLB public betting page for the latest.
MLB Free Pick: Take Arizona. The Diamondbacks just dropped two of three to their NL West rivals the Giants but they’re coming off a walk-off win in extra innings on Thursday. So they should have plenty of confidence heading into tonight’s game, especially with Hudson on the mound. According to latest MLB trends, the D-Backs are 4-0 in Hudson’s last four starts as a home favorite and 5-0 in his last five home starts. They’re also 4-0 in their last four interleague games and 4-1 in their last five outings against the AL Central. Meanwhile, the White Sox are just 2-8 in Jackson’s last 10 starts and 1-4 in his last five road outings.
