Sunday in Major League Baseball we take a look at three quality bets.  The schedule is packed with games, but we won’t be chasing any big favorites.  Today’s free MLB picks are all about the value!

New York Mets @ Colorado Rockies
I haven’t quite put my finger on it yet, but there’s something wrong with the entire Rockies’ roster.  The batters can’t seem to produce and the pitching staff has fallen flat all season.  The Mets haven’t wowed anyone, but John Maine is a solid hurler that can easily keep the Mets ahead in this one if they can score some runs.
Pick:  New York Mets +100

Cincinnati Reds @ San Diego Padres
The Padres have been a huge disappointment so far this season.  Their offense has been a joke and while their pitching is supposed to be their strength, it really hasn’t panned out either.  That being said, I like this match-up for the Padres in San Diego because Greg Maddux is still good enough to get the job done, particularly in the pitching-friendly environment of PETCO Park.  The Reds are as inconsistent as they come, which is why they are sitting at the bottom of the standings in the NL Central.
Pick:  San Diego Padres +125

Los Angeles Angels @ Chicago White Sox
The Angeles and the White Sox have two of the best records in the American League, and both are currently in first place in their respective Divisions.  Of the two, the Angeles have been the better team overall.  LAA always seems to put together good seasons when nobody is really paying attention to them, and that seems to be the case this year.  John Lackey was one of the best pitchers in the AL last season, and though he started the season on the DL he’s come out in his first two starts and pitched gems. 
Pick:  Los Angeles Angels +100
