#MLB FREE PICK FROM MIKE LUNDIN
(MLB) Pittsburgh vs. Philadelphia,
Money Line: -108.00 Philadelphia (Home)
Result: Win
***NBA GAME OF THE YEAR GOES FRIDAY NIGHT***

The Pittsburgh Pirates have lost three of their last four and scored just a total of two runs in the defeats. They took a 7-0 loss here at Citizens Bank Park yesterday and have scored two or fewer runs in five of their last seven games.

Tonight the Pirates hand the ball to Ivan Nova (2-1, 4.88 ERA). They're 3-7 in his last 10 starts overall and 4-12 in Nova's last 16 road starts. He posted a 4.73 ERA in a pair of starts against Philadelphia in 2017 and recorded just four strikeouts in 13 1/3 innings of work.

The Phillies turn to Ben Lively (0-1, 5.87 ERA) who has given up a fair amount of runs, but they've still won two of his three starts this season. Lively has recorded 17 strikeouts through 15 1/3 innings and I think he'll get enough run support to help his team win the game.

Philly has won eight of its last 10 and improved to 6-1 at home with yesterday's win. Let's go with the hot Phillies.

Free pick on Philadelphia Phillies.
