Free Pick: San Diego Padres -147 (Craig Trapp)
The two biggest surpises in the National League square off tonight. But only SD is coming off a positive as they took 2 of 3 against STL in the last series. WASH has lost 9 of last 13 and are really struggling. Clayton Richard goes for Padres as he tries for a fifth consecutive victory. The left-hander, who’s 4-0 with a 1.97 ERA in his last five starts, allowed one run in seven innings for the second straight appearance in a 2-1 win at Seattle on Saturday. He will be opposed by Lannan who has been good in his last three but had not got a decision in any three starts. Lannan is 0-2 with a 3.12 ERA in four starts against the Padres. As all SD games this will be low scoring but SD is on a tear and will pull out another close one.

Free Pick: Royals vs. Red Sox Under 9.5 (Jim Feist)
Kansas City has a weak offense, ranked 9th in the AL in runs scored. They swing at a lot of pitches outside the strike zone, which is bad against Boston starter Tim Wakfield and his floating knuckeball. Wakefield should not have come out of the rotation, as he is in one of those grooves, with a 2.08 ERA his last 21 innings, just 4 walks. Boston has a fine defense and deep bullpen. KC starter Kyle Davies has been decent, with a 2.65 ERA his last three starts, just 2 walks in those 17 innings. That’s key against a Boston lineup that would prefer to draw walks, but Davies isn’t allowing any. Look for a pitcher’s duel, play the Royals/Red Sox Under the total.
