#MLB Free Pick from Mike Lundin
(MLB) Toronto vs. Tampa Bay,
Money Line: 108.00 Tampa Bay (Home)
Result: Loss
Play: Tampa Bay Rays
Rating: 5*

The Tampa Bay Rays have outscored the Toronto Blue Jays by an 80-60 margin in winning nine of 15 meetings this season. They're going for a sweep of this three-game set at Tropicana Field Sunday afternoon, and I like the price we get on Tampa Bay with its ace on the mound.

Chris Archer (8-17, 4.10) takes the ball for the Rays. He's 3-9 home at the Trop this season despite a more than respectable 2.61 ERA. He's held Toronto to seven runs (six earned) on 10 hits and 11 walks with 23 strikeouts through 17 innings of work this season.

Toronto turns to J.A. Happ (17-4, 3.23 ERA) who's 3-3 with a 4.87 ERA in his career against the Rays, and the current Tampa Bay roster has a combined .315 batting average against the left-hander. Happ has struggled in each of his three most recent turns, surrendering a total of 11 runs on 19 hits through 18 2/3 frames.

Happ is no doubt a solid pitcher, but I don't think he'll outduel Archer here. The Rays seem to up their game when facing their division rival and the team is 5-2 in its last seven vs. American League East opponents.

Note that:
- There's no denying that Mike Lundin had a rough month of August, but he's been back at his best here in September and enters Sunday with a 6-3 MLB RECORD FOR THE MONTH! That includes a couple of HUGE UNDERDOG FREE PICK WINNERS with the Nats (+155) on Friday and the Braves (+133) on Saturday. The profit surge continues Sunday as Mike's got a HUGE 3-Pack of MLB Winners locked and loaded! You in???
