Free MLB Picks for Monday August 1, 2022

Mets vs. Nationals, 7:05PM ET

If I were the Nats, I probably wouldn't be starting the guy with the worst ERA among qualified pitchers in the MLB, against Max Scherzer - but here we are. Patrick Corbin (4-14, 6.49 ERA) will be on the mound for the Nats and we're expecting pain. Corbin's numbers were even worse in the month of July and the Mets hitters should feast.

BET: Mets -1.5 (-138)

Orioles vs. Rangers, 8:05PM ET

The O's continue to shock the MLB this year and they have a great chance to start the week off right against a Rangers team that are below them on the standings. The starting pitcher match up is just about even with Jon Gray (7-5, 3.62 ERA) of the Rangers, up against Spenser Watkins (3-1, 4.03 ERA) for the Orioles. Baltimore are supreme value on the moneyline.

Rockies vs. Padres, 9:40PM ET

Colorado heads to San Diego to get the week started as heavy underdogs in tonight's series opener, but don't be so sure that these Rockies can't at least keep things competitive via their potent offense. Mike Clevinger (2-3, 3.38 ERA) will be on the bump for the Padres. His numbers haven't been spectacular over the past month, with an ERA of 4.07 through four starts - not enough to suggest that this is going to be a low scoring game. With Antonio Senzatela (3-5, 4.90 ERA) starting for Colorado, this total feels simply too low.

BET: Total runs OVER 7.5 (-110)
