Pick: Colorado Rockies vs. Arizona Diamondbacks Over 9 (Rob Vinciletti)
On Sunday the free MLB Play is to play over the total in the Colorado at Arizona game. Rotation numbers 915/16 at 4:10 eastern. This game fits a nice totals system that pertains to home favorites off a home dog win, where both clubs had 4 or less hits. These games average over 10 runs per game the past few seasons. Arizona has played over in 21 of 31 day games this year. In the pitching matchup we note that Colorado starter J. Chacin has a 5.29 era over his last 3 starts and has gone over the total in 6 of 7 games vs NL West teams and 4 of 5 games as an underdog. Arizona starter D. Hudson has a very average 4.34 home era on the year. Look for this game to fly over the total. On Sunday I have a solid 17-2 MLB System Dominator side as well as a play on the NFL game. We cashed another winning night on Saturday winning 2 of 3. For the free play take the Over in the Colorado at Arizona game. RV

Pick: San Diego Padres -115 (Robbie Gainous)
The San Diego Padres need a win on Sunday to not only keep pace in their division but to halt a possible sweep at the hands of the host Brewers who have taken the first two games in this series. We see that the Padres play particularly well on Sunday this season posting a record of 14-5 picking up over 10 units of profit for their backers in those contests. San Diego is also 23-12 versus left-handed starters and 26-13 during day games. Add to these angles the fact that the Padres are 16-5 against teams with a losing record during the second half of the season we believe San Diego is a solid play on Sunday versus the Brewers. Jon Garland will take the bump for the Padres on Sunday afternoon with his 12-8 record overall this season and a perfect mark of 2-0 with a 1.77 ERA versus the Brewers in his career. His last three outings have been solid with a 2-1 record and an ERA of only 0.90. The Brewers will send Manny Parra to the mound with his 3-9 record and ERA of 5.36 on the year. His last three starts have not been good with him going 0-1 and an ERA of 5.06 over that span. With strong technical and fundamental support for the visitors, we will back the Padres here on Sunday afternoon as they grab a win over the Brewers and halt a possible sweep.
