Ron Patrick - The San Francisco Giants, fresh off a “lost weekend” of baseball, will now look to get back on track when they host the New York Mets for a four-game series at AT&T Park. Follow our coverage and MLB picks for each game of this series.

Ron Patrick - The defending NL West champion Arizona Diamondbacks haven't been much of a factor this season, but they've recently pulled into contention. Arizona gets a chance to close the gap this week in a three-game series with the division-leading Dodgers starting Monday night.

Steven Suarez - Don't forget about those tantalizing totals. It's not too often you see a total of 11, but that's what we see for the matchup between the Texas Rangers and Los Angeles Angels tonight. Here are a couple O/U picks we are digging for Monday's baseball slate.

Steven Suarez - The Pirates haven't faded out in the least and we're about to enter August. The Chicago Cubs, on the other hand, have won five straight series at home. They send the much-traveled Justin Germano to the mound to face Erik Bedard and the red-hot Bucs.

Joe Freda - The Athletics have notched a 9-2 record in their last 11 contests, edging out their opposition by a combined margin of 66-41. Bob Melvin’s club heads home from an east coast journey for Monday’s opener against the Tampa Bay Rays.

John Ryan - 10* graded play UNDER Angels-Rangers. Texas is treading water while the Angels and Oakland A’s have closed the gap on the division leaders. Texas has gone just 4-6 over their last 10 games while the Angels have gone an even 5-5 and the A’s a strong 8-2.

Michael Anthony -

Monday kicks off with a small slate on the baseball card but we have narrowed down our two MLB Picks of the Day, to two of the hottest teams in baseball, will we continue to ride their hot streaks or fade it?

Ron Patrick - Chicago lost hold of first place in the AL Central last week, but recently got it back. Now they'll try to hold on to it and maybe even build a lead when they visit the Twins Cities for three games with the Twinkies starting Monday night.

Jeff Grant - The Yankees own the largest divisional lead in the major leagues heading into the final two days of July, but will need to avoid a letdown after facing the Red Sox over the weekend. Let’s find out if you should add the Bronx Bombers as one of your MLB picks on Monday.

LT Profits Sports Group - Max Scherzer of the Tigers is in great form right now with seven Quality Starts in his last eight outings while Clay Buchholz of the Red Sox has come around by allowing one run in each of his last two starts. Go ‘under’ Monday.
