MLB FREE PICK: Take the Mets. Corbin, a native of Clay, New York, starts his second game of his career against the Mets. He gave up 3 runs in 5 2/3 innings at Miami, but also allowed 8 hits and 3 walks. This is just his second start coming from AA and now he has to face Johan Santana. The veteran lefty owns a 2.25 ERA and has had no wins yet with 29 strikeouts in 24 innings. In his last outing against Colorado on the road, he allowed no runs in six innings but got a no-decision. This is a battle of two lefties but a mismatch for Santana, who should mow down the D-backs lineup.
