Hot Lines: Today's best MLB bets
Toronto Blue Jays at New York Yankees
The Blue Jays are baseball’s most inconsistent team when it comes to wins and losses. But in recent games Toronto hasn’t been on the fence about one particular thing.
The Jays have played over the total in four straight games heading into Tuesday’s series opener with the Yankees. Toronto split a four-game series with the Tigers this weekend with an average of 11 total runs per game.
Now, the Jays face the deepest lineup in baseball in the most home runs friendly stadium in the bigs. New York is averaging more than five runs per game and hitting .283 – second-best in the majors. Against Toronto, the Bronx Bombers have .279 BA and have punished their arms for 28 home runs in 16 games heading into Tuesday.
In their last 12 meetings, these AL East rivals have played over the posted total eight times – including their most recent meeting (before Tuesday) which was a 14-8 slugfest in Toronto earlier this month.
Pick: Over
Cleveland Indians at Minnesota Twins (-150, 9)
With a 5.5-game cushion between the Minnesota Twins and the AL Central lead, the club could be considering packing up shop for 2009.
A recent rash of injuries hasn’t made things easy on the Twins. Star first baseman Justin Morneau missed Monday’s game with a bad back, DH Jason Kubel is in-and-out with a sore knee and third baseman Joe Crede has been shut down for the remainder of the season with sore back.
Minnesota won back-to-back games heading into Tuesday, but has struggled at the plate this month. The Twins are batting .262 and averaging under four runs per game, leading to a 6-7 September record.
Morneau, the biggest of the team’s concerns, has been nursing his aching back for some time now, according to manager Ron Gardenhire. Morneau aggravated the injury when sliding into first base Friday. An MRI later revealed inflammation in his spine. He’s hitting just .201 in the second half of the season.
"It's to the point now where we're checking on him," Gardenhire told the media.
Pick: Cleveland +142

Pick: Cleveland +142
Streaking and Slumping Pitchers
Streaking
Rich Harden (9-8, 4.04 ERA), Chicago Cubs
It’s hard to believe the Cubs put this guy on waivers in August. His WHIP (walks + hits per inning) is always a bit too high, but you’ve got to love his ability to get out of a jam with a timely strikeout.
Chicago has won four of his its last five games with the flame-throwing righty on the bump. He doesn’t go too deep into games (14 innings in his last three outings) but he keeps things close.
Jorge De La Rosa (14-9, 4.37), Colorado Rockies
De La Rosa is enjoying a fantastic final month of the regular season. Despite walking 13 over his last 18 innings, the lefty hurler is 2-0 with a 1.50 ERA in September.
The Rockies have won six of De La Rosa’s last seven starts dating back to Aug. 10.
His teammates will have to deliver a few more runs for De La Rosa to be successful Wednesday night. Entering Tuesday’s game, Colorado has scored just six runs in its last six games.
Joe Saunders (13-7, 4.81), Los Angeles Angels
Saunders appears to have finally shaken injuries and returned to his 2008 form. The lefty has given up just five runs in his last four starts and the Halos have in each of his last four appearances.
Saunders is 4-0 with a 1.85 ERA since coming off the disabled list with shoulder stiffness. The under has also hit in three of those four games.
Slumping
Andy Sonnanstine (6-9, 7.15), Tampa Bay Rays
The last time Sonnanstine started a game for the Rays, he got tagged for eight runs in a little over two innings of work. That was just over a week ago. Problems with rotation have forced Joe Maddon to return to the righty pitcher to the five-man group.
He was down in the minors for most of July and August, but was recalled to fill in following Scott Kazmir’s departure.
He proved to be just as ineffective in his two return starts (0-2, 13 runs allowed in 7.2 innings pitched), but the slumping Rays don’t have many other options for a No. 5 starter.

Florida Marlins (110)
Wed Sep 16 '09 2:15p
Florida gets a solid price this afternoon in a matchup of excellent starting pitchers. The Marlins took Game Two of this series last night and coupled with the Rockies loss, they are just 4.5 games out in the National League Wild Card race. The games remaining are dwindling so every game becomes that much more important and with a stud on the mound, these are the games Florida needs to take advantage of. The Cardinals loss made it four losses in the last five games for St. Louis, all of which have come at home. The Cardinals have been solid at home all season but Florida is four games over .500 on the road which is the fourth best road record in the National League. The pitcher referred to is Josh Johnson and he is having a phenomenal season. He is 14-4 with a 3.06 ERA and 1.11 WHIP in 29 starts with the Marlins going 20-9 in those games. His numbers slip a little on the road but they are made up for in his starts during the day as he is a perfect 5-0 with a 3.23 ERA in 10 starts with the Marlins going 9-1 in those games. Both career starts against the Cardinals have been quality efforts. He squares off against Joel Pineiro who is having a great bounce back season. He has a 3.21 ERA and 1.11 WHIP but he is just 14-10. His numbers go up during the daytime hours as he is 4-4 with a 3.62 ERA and 1.22 WHIP in nine starts with St. Louis going just 4-5 in those games. The Marlins are 13-3 in Johnson’s last 16 starts as an underdog while the Cardinals are 1-4 in Pineiro’s last five starts as a home favorite of -110 to -150. Also, the Marlins are 4-1 in their last five road games against a team with a winning home record and the Cardinals are 1-5 in their last six home games against a team with a winning road record. 3* Florida Marlins

Play on: 925..Los Angeles over Boston
Tonight’s hurler Paul Byrd of the Red Sox pitched well against the Orioles in his last outing, but let us face the real situation, that was the last place Birds. For the Angels, left-hander Saunders will take the bump where he has accumulated a super 3-0 mark at Fenway with a corresponding 2.75 ERA. With the Angels 7-1 versus Boston, I will support LA in a close call.

The Blue Jays routed the Yankees 10-4 on Tuesday, giving me a win on my complimentary selection. I'm going to stay in the AL today to pick up another victory.
Angels starter Joe Saunders (13-7, 4.81 ERA) has regained his All-Star form after a stint on the disabled list in August for tightness in his pitching shoulder.
The left-hander is 4-0 in four outings with a 1.85 ERA since returning to the rotation. He allowed one run and three hits in seven innings Friday to beat the White Sox.
Saunders also has had good success against Boston, going 4-1 with a 3.25 ERA in seven career starts, and he is 3-0 with a 2.75 ERA in three outings at Fenway Park.
Paul Byrd (1-1, 6.08) has made three starts for the Red Sox since coming out of his mini-retirement, and has had mixed results.
The veteran right-hander has made one really good start, one that was OK and had one awful outing. In his last start, Byrd allowed two runs and six hits in five innings in a no-decision against Baltimore. That was the OK one. Overall, he has given up nine runs on 19 hits and six walks in 13 1/3 innings.
Byrd is 4-2 in nine career starts vs. Los Angeles, but his ERA is a lofty 4.94 in those outings.
Byrd is the epitome of a crafty veteran, but I can't take him against the red-hot Saunders in this one. Go with the Angels to grab the victory.

I'm 2-1 with my last three FREE selections and I'm sticking on the diamond tonight with winner on the Giants as they finish off a three-game sweep of the Rockies.
Get your brooms out San Francisco as the Giants are about to jump right back into this N.L. Wildcard race when they take their third straight against Colorado and fourth straight overall.
San Francisco jumped to within 2 1/2 games of the Rockies with Tuesday's 10-2 win behind the pitching of rejuvanated Barry Zito, who struck out a season-high nine batters. Tonight this dominant pitching staff has Matt Cain (13-5, 2.61 ERA) going against the Rockies' best hurler this season, Jorge DeLaRosa (14-9, 4.37).
The Giants have won five straight against Colorado and just handed the Rockies their fourth consecutive loss since winning eight in a row. Colorado is in funks of 1-12 as a road 'dog, 1-7 on the road, 3-14 as an underdog and 1-4 on the road against right-handed starters.
With Cain on the hill, the Giants are 18-6 in his last 24 starts, 17-5 when he starts at home and 12-4 when he's a chalk. As a team, they are 36-17 at home, 46-20 as a home favorite and 6-1 when Cain faces N.L. West rivals.
I love the Giants pitching staff and I think this is where they get right back into the fight with the Rockies. Play San Francisco.

Our Bonus Play run stands at 34-18-3 the last 55 days.
Late afternoon play on the Diamondbacks, as it looks like Arizona has found a team they can beat on a consistent basis.
The Snakes won again last night to make it 5 in a row over the Padres, and 9-5 overall in this years season series against Diego.
Doug Davis may be just 7-13 for the season, but he is 2-0 this season against San Diego, and 4-0 his last 5 starts against them, having allowed 6 earned runs in 33 innings of work.
The Padres are still 38-37 for the season at home, but it looks like they are snake-bitten (no pun intended) against this Arizona team, and with Davis sporting such poisitive numbers against the Padres, we will back Arizona to complete the three game sweep.

(924) NEW YORK YANKEES
Take "Over"
The long road trip continues for Toronto, and they found their bats in Tiger Stadium, going 3 straight games over the total. The pitching staff, however, has slipped badly in the second half, outside of ace Roy Halladay. Starter Brian Tallet (7-9, 5.26 ERA) has been awful of late, struggling badly with control all season, walking 69 in 145 innings. That won't cut it in Yankee Stadium, an easy home run park. Andy Pettitte is 3-1 against the Jays this season, but an ERA over 4, walking 18 in 24 innings! Looks like an offensive show in the Bronx. Play the Blue Jays/Yankees Over the total

Gavin Floyd is doing good work for the White Sox. But his road numbers are still less than stellar and he's got a tough draw here. Ryan Rowland-Smith has been very steady for the Mariners, who continue to drive hard for a winning season. I see decent value here with the Mariners being installed as home underdogs.
