Landers vs Lions Pick: SSG Landers
We are going to take the Landers team in this game here. The Landers have not looked impressive in their past 2 games, but that is bound to change in this game here. The Lions looked downright horrible in their last game and used up a lot of their bullpen, which is going to make it easier to see the Landers team get a win against a tired bullpen.
