Shane’s Free Pick

Williamson has been lights out heading into this game, and the Blue Jays offense has been slumping a bit. Williamson over his last two starts has given up only two runs total and he’s going to lockdown here. The Reds will score enough off Bassitt here and that will be enough to get the job done. Back the Reds on the money line to cash here.
