MLB Betting Picks for Friday 4/30 - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

We had some excitement for Thursday iteration my MLB picks.

It obviously could have been a loss, so we'll take […]

Nick Pivetta Looks Strong Again Versus Mets

Boston Red Sox hurler Nick Pivetta looked like an ace Wednesday as he silenced the New York Mets' bats over five innings. Just one single combined with three bases on balls was all Pivetta allowed.
