Hot Lines: Today's best MLB bets
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Colorado Rockies at San Diego Padres (145, 6.5)

Colorado isn't known for producing Cy Young Award contenders. The thin air and short porch (or is that waterfall a patio?) of Coors Field prevent it from being a pitcher's paradise.

But Rockies right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez is breaking new ground. His 5-0 record and 0.79 ERA attest to the fact that his no-hitter against the light-hitting Braves was not a fluke.

Coincidentally, catcher Miguel Olivo told Jimenez in spring training that he was going to throw a no-hitter someday, he just didn't know it would come so quickly. Now he's making a bolder prediction.

"I tell him, ‘You’re going to win the Cy Young,' " Olivo told Yahoo Sports. "He’s putting everything together."

Not to get too far ahead of ourselves but bettors seem to be slow to jump on the Jimenez bandwagon. Despite a powerful Padres lineup and a strong starter in Kevin Correia (4-1, 3.86 ERA), it's hard to pass up the hot hand at this price.

Pick: Rockies


Toronto Blue Jays at Cleveland Indians (-125, 8.5)


The Cleveland Indians shouldn't pick a fight with Phil Mickelson right now. They haven't been able to hit a Lefty all season.

The Tribe entered Sunday's 8-3 loss to Minnesota batting just .211 against southpaws this season before losing to Twins lefty Francisco Liriano.

The Indians face another wrong-handed pitcher Monday. Brett Cecil hasn't exactly been a world-beater (1-1, 3.55 ERA), but he has been a Tribe-baffler, limiting the Indians to one earned run over 13 innings with 15 strikeouts to only four walks in their two meetings last year.

Indians starter Mitch Talbot has pitched well (3-1, 2.05 ERA) but the Blue Jays have been swinging the sticks lately and have a lefty on the hill.

Pick: Blue Jays (+110)

This Day in Baseball
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On May 3 in Baseball History...

1938 - Lefty Grove defeats the Tigers 4-3 in 10 innings for the first of a record 20 consecutive victories at his home field, Fenway Park in Boston. He will not lose there until May 12, 1941.

1961 - Another brilliant Warren Spahn performance is spoiled when left fielder Mel Roach's misplay costs the Milwaukee ace a second no-hitter in a row. Spahn settles for a two-hitter in topping the Dodgers 4-1.

1975 - The Reds switch Pete Rose from left field to third base, opening a lineup spot for utility outfielder George Foster. Over the next four seasons, Foster will average 36 home runs, 117 RBI, and a .302 batting average to help the Reds to two world championships.

1979 - Bobby Bonds hits his 300th home run against Moose Haas in a 6-1 loss to Milwaukee. He has 413 stolen bases at the time and becomes the second player, after Willie Mays, to have 300 stolen bases and 300 home runs.

1980 - Giants first baseman Willie McCovey hits his 521st and final career home run. His shot against Montreal's Scott Sanderson ties him with Ted Williams on the all-time list. He will retire on June 6.

1980 - Rangers pitcher Fergie Jenkins defeats the Orioles 3-2 to become only the fourth pitcher to win 100 games in each league. He won 149 games for the Phillies and Cubs before moving to the A.L. in 1974.

1986 - Cubs third baseman Ron Cey hits his 300th and 301st home runs and Chicago scores four times in the top of the ninth to beat San Francisco 6-5.

1992 - Baltimore's Gregg Olson, just 25, becomes the youngest pitcher in history to record 100 saves.

1995 - David Bell makes his major league debut at third base for the Indians in a 14-7 victory over the Tigers. His appearance makes the Bells, with his father Buddy and his grandfather Gus, the second three-generation family in major league history (the Boones were the first). Gus Bell dies four days later.
