Free MLB Pick: Braves vs. Padres Over 7 (Jim Feist)
A low total on this NL game as it’s in Petco. However, a closer look shows one team with a good offense (Braves) and a pair of starting pitchers who have control problems. Clayton Richard of the Padres walks roughly 1 batter for every 2 innings pitched, a terrible ratio. He walked 71 in 153 innings last season and 34 in 64 IP two years ago. That’s why his ERA was over 4 in both seasons. Atlanta starter Tommy Hanson is a young pitcher who can be a little wild, with 3 walks in 5 innings in the opener. Plenty of base runners means more runs than oddsmakers think. Play the Braves/Padres Over the total.

Free MLB Pick: Chicago Cubs -132 (Jimmy Boyd)
I’ll fade the Brewers with Bush on the hill Wednesday and here’s why. Bush is just 2-8 (3-12 on the money line) with an ERA of 5.30 lifetime when starting against the Cubs. He is also on a 5-21 skid against the money line in road day games. In addition, Chicago has had Milwaukee’s number. The Brewers are just 4-9 in the last 13 meetings and only 3-7 in the last 10 meetings in Chicago. Plus, Wells has been sensational for Chicago and the Cubs are 11-4 in his last 15 starts as a favorite. Bet the Cubs.
