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

Texas Rangers at Chicago White Sox (-125, 9)

The daunting Rangers’ offense has fallen into a slumber and losing slugger Nelson Cruz to the disabled list isn’t going to help.

Texas has dropped four straight games and scored an average of 2.25 runs per game during the losing streak – never eclipsing a three-run total. The Rangers are just 8-15 away from Arlington.

"We just haven't really clicked on all cylinders yet," second baseman Ian Kinsler said. "We're getting good pitching but we're not scoring runs. When we're scoring runs we're not pitching well. We just need to get both those things on the same page and I think we'll start rolling."

Up until June 28, Chicago will play all but six games this month at Cingular Field where the team has gotten off to an 11-13 start.

"You want to go home and play good," Ozzie Guillen said. "Now we have a stretch where we're going to go home for a while, and hopefully we take advantage of that, take pride in showing (the fans) where we are."

Look for Chicago to get back on track in the confines of their home ballpark behind southpaw Mark Buehrle who will make his first start since being ejected after two balks last week. Buehrle no-hit this same Rangers squad at home in 2007.

Pick: White Sox


Milwaukee Brewers at Florida Marlins (-155, 9)

The Marlins may have figured something out on Memorial Day.

After getting shutdown by Roy Halladay’s perfect outing Saturday and then clinging onto a 1-0 victory against the Phillies Sunday, Florida exploded for 13 runs against Milwaukee on Monday.

Cody Ross hit a three-run bomb and Cameron Maybin raced around the bags for an inside-the-park two-run homer during the Marlins’ seven-run sixth inning.

"For the first five innings, it looked like the same old team that's been playing the last few days. And then all of a sudden, we score seven," Ross said. "That's what makes our game so beautiful. You can be down and out, and the next thing you know, you feel like you're on top of the world and nobody can get you out.”

The Marlins have won two straight and need to get on a hot streak in order to keep up with the pace-setting Braves and Phillies atop the NL East.

Brewers starting pitcher Dave Bush (1-5, 5.05 ERA) gave up seven earned runs in 0.1 innings before his last start and has a career 6.65 ERA versus the Fish.

Pick: Marlins

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

Streaking

Johnny Cueto (5-1, 3.25 ERA), Cincinnati Reds

The Reds righty has been simply magic during the club's recent hot streak. Cueto has won four straight starts and hasn’t tasted defeat since April 24. He’s allowed just three runs in his last four outings, most recently going six innings, allowing just three hits, in an 8-2 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Even more impressive is the fact that Cueto is missing his slider due to a blister on his right hand. He is expected to be back at full strength against the St. Louis Cardinals Tuesday.

Nick Blackburn (6-1, 4.28 ERA), Minnesota Twins

The Twins right-hander has won five starts in a row heading into Tuesday. Blackburn hasn’t lost since April 11 and is coming off a strong showing against the dangerous New York Yankees lineup, allowing just two runs through seven innings in an 8-2 victory last Thursday. Not only is Blackburn getting the job done but Minnesota’s lineup is backing him up, scoring 57 runs over his nine starts this season – the most for any pitcher in the majors.


Slumping

Brian Matusz (2-5, 5.76 ERA), Baltimore Orioles

Matusz’s last win came way back on April 18 against the Oakland A’s. Since then, the lefty has gone 0-5 in his last seven starts and is coming off a rough couple outings heading into Tuesday’s date with the Yankees. Matusz lasted just over two innings, giving up seven runs on May 20, then served up six runs in five innings against Oakland last Wednesday. He did, however, settle down in that outing and could be turning things around.

Wade LeBlanc (2-3, 3.71 ERA), San Diego Padres

LeBlanc’s command has been off and on since joining the Big League club in 2010. In his last start, the left-hander gave up four runs including two home runs on nine hits in just over five innings of work. The start before that, he was rocked for eight runs in just three innings, serving up two dingers. He hasn’t won since an eight-hit shutout on April 29 and had a 5.81 ERA in May, despite starting the month strong.

"I think more than anything it was the lack of not getting the ball in good spots," Padres manager Bud Black told MLB.com following LeBlanc’s latest outing. "Today I saw the ball elevated more than I have all year. There was not enough quality strikes down in the strike zone."
