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

Arizona Diamondbacks at Los Angeles Dodgers (-170, 8.5)

The Diamondbacks have served up more home runs than any team in baseball this season, and they're well on their way to allowing more than anyone in baseball history.

Entering Sunday's game against the Giants, the D-backs had given up 85 round-trippers through their first 50 games - well ahead of the pace to break the Detroit Tigers' dubious distinction of 241 in 1996.

"We're on a horrible pace, and we're blowing the rest of the league out of the water," Diamondbacks manager A.J. Hinch told the Arizona Republic.

"This isn't a staff that I would have expected to give up as many home runs as we have (but) it's a reality. The numbers don't lie. It's definitely something we're concerned about and have been talking about quite a bit."

Fortunately for them the Dodgers haven't exactly been rattling the bats lately, but that could change tonight with the expected return of outfielder Andre Ethier, who was leading the NL in batting (.382), HRs (11) and RBIs (38) before breakining a bone in his pinky finger on May 14.

Ethier went 5-for-8 at the plate in his two rehab appearances so it's not like he will be coming in cold. The Dodgers have sorely missed him in the lineup and should respond against Arizona pitcher Rodrigo Lopez, whom they touched up for seven runs in both meetings this season.

Pick: Dodgers


Philadelphia Phillies at Atlanta Braves (-150, 8.5)

The Braves have the chance to go from worst to first in the NL East during the month of May with a win over the Phillies today.

Hard to believe they were dead last in the division and in NL hitting on May 1. They're 19-8 for the month and now a half-game back thanks to a recent Phillies' slide.

Ray Halladay's perfect game on Saturday night against the Marlins is about the only way he could ensure himself a win with the way the Phillies have been hitting lately. They scored a grand total of four runs on their current six-game road trip after a shutout sweep by the Mets.

Atlanta's Tommy Hanson could be just what the Phillies need to snap out of their slump. Hanson hasn't lasted more than five innings in his last three starts against Philly and carries a quadruple-digit ERA against them.

Phillies starter Joe Blanton has had better success against the Braves, allowing just eight earned runs in his last 25 innings vs. Atlanta, but that was back before the Braves found their swing. They've averaged more than six runs per game over the last 20 games, going 16-4 during that span.

"We're playing well (and the Phillies are) struggling a little bit," said Braves third baseman Chipper Jones, who had the game-winning RBI on Sunday. "Let's just go out and play them. Have fun. Do the same things we've been doing for the last month. It's not do or die."

With the pressure suddenly on the Phillies instead of the Braves, look for both offenses to rise to the occasion.

Pick: Over

Streaking and Slumping Pitchers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Streaking

Ervin Santana (4-3, 3.65) L.A. Angels

Ervin Santana was cranking out more hits than rock legend Carlos Santana until his last three starts, going 3-0 and allowing only five earned runs during that span.

Santana has a 2.05 ERA and 1.14 WHIP in his last three starts, striking out 22 in those 22 innings of work, including a 10-K, complete-game performance in his four-hitter against the Blue Jays in his last outing.

"I'm not going to throw a complete game all the time," Santana said after the 8-3 win, "but I just try to go as far as I can for as long as I can."

It's a stark contrast to his 1-3 start to the season, when he gave up 23 earned runs over his first seven starts. Like the more musically inclined Santana, Ervin also has found his groove.

Ubaldo Jimenez (9-1, 0.88) Colorado Rockies

After Jimenez's hot start to the season, it's hard to imagine him getting any hotter. Yet that's exactly what he'd done over his last three outings.

After starting the season 6-1 with an 0.99 ERA, including his first career no-hitter, Jimenez has actually lowered his ERA and WHIP over his past three starts with identical 0.78 marks during that span.

"It's not easy to have an ERA like that young man has this late into the season," Rockies manager Jim Tracy said of Jimienez. "I've heard the term 'microscopic' used and I think it applies."

Jimenez carries a 16 1/3-inning scoreless streak into Monday's highly anticipated matchup with San Francisco's Tim Lincecum, but it's tough for anyone to beat a guy giving up less than one run per game.


Slumping

Matt Garza (5-3, 2.97) Tampa Bay Rays

After getting off to 5-1 start in his first six outings, Garza hasn't won since May 5, going 0-2 over his last four starts and allowing 13 earned runs during that stretch.

Garza's last start was his shortest and worst of the season, allowing six earned runs (all on home runs) and walking five batters in an 11-3 loss to the Red Sox.

While it's possible Garza was protected behind the Rays' strong hitting earlier in the season, he's been exposed a bit now that the offense has come down to earth.

"It's such a cyclical thing, I think," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "You're either hot in those moments or (you're not), and we had been hot and now we're not."

Garza may need all the support he can get today against the power-hitting Jays.

Francisco Liriano (4-3, 3.17) Minnesota Twins

It's only May and it's already been a tale of two seasons for Liriano. After going 4-0 through his first five starts, Liriano is 0-3 in his last four outings.

Maybe he should blame it on the rain. After sailing through his first five trips to the mound, Liriano's sixth start was pushed back one day against the Baltimore Orioles and he hasn't been the same ever since.

Liriano has allowed 15 earned runs over that stretch after giving up just six in his first five outings. His ERA has almost tripled since the weather threw off his rhythm. But the veteran still has it in him to bounce back.

"With Frankie on the mound you know you're going to get a chance to win," said Twins manager Rod Gardenhire.

True, just not as true as it was one month ago.

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

On May 31 in Baseball History...

1937 - A Memorial Day crowd of 61,756, the second-largest crowd in Polo Grounds history, sees the Dodgers end Carl Hubbell's consecutive-game winning streak at 24 over two seasons. Brooklyn routs King Carl in the fourth inning and wins 10-3.

1942 - Before 22,000 at Griffith Stadium, Satchel Paige pitches five innings to defeat the Dizzy Dean All-Stars 8-1. Dean pitches just the first inning. The game a week earlier, in which Paige won 3-1 at Wrigley Field, drew 29,000. Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis will prohibit a scheduled July 4 matchup because the first two games outdrew major-league games.

1948 - A lefthander for Schenectady (Canadian-American League) named Tom Lasorda strikes out 25 in a 15-inning game against Amsterdam.

1964 - After Juan Marichal's 5-3, first-game win, San Francisco holds a 6-1 lead in the nightcap until New York rallies for five runs to tie it in the seventh. Eventually, with two down in the 23rd inning, pinch-hitter Del Crandall delivers a run-scoring double off Galen Cisco, and the Giants prevail 8-6 after a record seven hours and 22 minutes. Gaylord Perry pitches ten scoreless innings to get credit for the win. Thirty-two innings and an elapsed time of nine hours and 50 minutes are doubleheader records, as are 47 strikeouts.

1975 - The Royals beat the Brewers 7-5 in a game bridging the generation gap. Hank Aaron and Harmon Killebrew are in their 22nd major-league seasons and winning pitcher Lindy McDaniel is in his 21st. All three were playing in the majors before Brewers shortstop Robin Yount was born.

1979 - Pat Underwood makes his major league debut for Detroit, pitching 8 1/3 innings in shutting out Toronto 1-0. The losing pitcher is Pat's brother, Tom.

1980 - Ken Landreaux goes 0-for-4 in Minnesota's 11-1 loss to the Orioles to end his hitting streak at 31 consecutive games. Baltimore southpaw Scott McGregor does the honors. It is the longest streak in the A.L. since Dom DiMaggio's 34-game stretch in 1949.

1981 - Playing before their tenth consecutive home sellout, the Dodgers pound the Reds 16-4 and raise their season attendance to 1,026,725 in 22 dates. It is the earliest any team has cracked the one million attendance barrier.

1983 - A.L. President Lee MacPhail suspends Yankees owner George Steinbrenner for one week, citing "repeated problems" with the outspoken owner's public criticism of umpires. Steinbrenner, who had been fined $50,000 by Commissioner Bowie Kuhn during spring training for berating some N.L. umpires, cannot attend games or be in his Yankee Stadium office during the suspension.

1984 - Mario Soto is suspended for five days by N.L. president Chub Feeney for his role in a 32-minute melee that marred the Reds-Cubs game on May 27. After shoving third base umpire Steve Rippley, who had signaled that Ron Cey's long fly ball was a three-run home run (it was later ruled foul), a bat-wielding Soto then tried to attack a park vendor who had thrown a bag of ice at him. Soto will be suspended again for five more days later in the season for his June 16 fight with Claudell Washington.

1996 - Albert Belle uses a forearm to break up a double play and nearly breaks Milwaukee second baseman Fernando Vina's nose in the process. The Cleveland slugger is suspended for two games.

Colorado Rockies at San Francisco Giants [4:05 PM ET]

Rockies: Colorado is making their patented move up the National League standings right now. The Rockies have won 7 of their past 10 games, and are 26-23 on the year. Colorado is 11-15 away from home this year, as they look to get a step closer to .500. The Rockies are 2-7 in their past 9 meetings overall with the Giants. Colorado is averaging nearly 7 runs per game over their past 6 contests. The Rockies will send arguably the best pitcher in baseball to the mound today in Ubaldo Jimenez. Jimenez is 9-1 this year, with an ERA of 0.88 and a WHIP of 0.93. The Rockies are 5-1 in their last 6 games against a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15. Colorado is 2-12 in their last 14 during game 1 of a series. The Rockies are 4-0 in Jimenez's last 4 starts against a team with a winning record. Colorado is 6-1 in Jimenez's last 7 starts against the National League West.

Rockies are 4-1 last 5 road games against a team with a winning record.
Over is 9-4 last 13 Monday games.

Key Injuries - 2B Eric Young (shin) is out.

PROJECTED SCORE: 3 (UNDER - Total of the Day)

Giants (-110, O/U 6): San Francisco is playing well, as they've won 3 straight games to stand at 26-22 on the year. The Giants are right in the middle of the hotly contested National League West standings. San Francisco has scored 22 runs in their past 3 games, so their offense is starting to play to the level of their brilliant pitching staff. Speaking of brilliant, P Tim Lincecum is again pitching like a Cy Young candidate. Lincecum is 5-1 this year, with an ERA of 3.00 and a WHIP of 1.12. Surprisingly, 7 of the 9 games started by Lincecum this year have gone over the posted total. The Giants are 25-9 in their last 34 games against a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15. The Giants are 21-10 in their last 31 during game 1 of a series. San Francisco is 6-1 in Lincecums' last 7 starts following a team loss in their previous game. The Giants are 20-8 in Lincecums' last 28 home starts.

Giants are 6-1 last 7 home games against a team with a losing road record.
Under is 8-2-1 last 11 home games against a team with a winning record.

Key Injuries - SS Edgar Renteria (hamstring) is out.

PROJECTED SCORE: 2



New York Mets at San Diego Padres [10:05 PM ET]

Mets: New York has climbed the mountain, as they are back over .500 after a dismal start to their season. The Mets have won 7 of their past 10 games, and are now 26-25 on the year. New York is in 3rd place in the National League East, 3 games behind the Philadelphia Phillies. New York has been dominant at home and dismal on the road. The Mets are a paltry 7-16 on the road this season. In one of the most drastic unit differentials in the majors this year, New York is up 1 unit overall but up over 11 units on the run line. The Mets will have P Hisanori Takahashi on the mound today, as he makes his 3rd start of the season. Takahashi has been valuable for the Mets, as he can be both a spot starter and a relief option. Takahasi is 4-1 this year, with an ERA of 2.13 and a WHIP of 1.24. The Mets are 1-8 in the last 9 meetings in San Diego. New York is 17-36 in their last 53 road games against a right-handed starter. New York is 3-7 in their last 10 games against a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30. The Mets are 2-5 in their last 7 games during game 1 of a series.

Mets are 6-1 last 7 against the National League West.
Under is 13-3 last 16 during game 1 of a series.

Key Injuries - CF Carlos Beltran (knee) is out.

PROJECTED SCORE: 2

Padres (-110, O/U 6.5): San Diego continues to be the surprise team in baseball this season. With a small payroll and a relatively unknown team, expectations were low. The Padres have proven that good pitching and good team chemistry can be a successful combination for a small market team. The Padres have the best record in the entire National League at 30-20. San Diego is up over 12 units this season, including 11 units on the run line. P Kevin Correia will take the mound today, as he is 4-4 on the season with an ERA of 4.03 and a WHIP of 1.32. San Diego is 5 games over .500 at home and on the road this year. The Padres are 1-5 in their last 6 games against a left-handed starter. San Diego is 5-0 in Correia's last 5 starts against the National League East. The Padres are 8-3 in Correia's last 11 starts with 4 days of rest.

Padres are 10-4 last 14 home games against a team with a road winning percentage less than .400%.
Under is 7-3 last 10 home games.

Key Injuries - SS Everth Cabrera (hamstring) is out.

PROJECTED SCORE: 4 (Side of the Day)
