Hot lines: Wednesday's best MLB bets

By COVERS.COM STAFF

Tampa Bay Rays at Toronto Blue Jays (-110, 8)

The Blue Jays got some help from Rays third baseman Evan Longoria, whose three errors helped push three unearned runs across the plate in a 7-3 win to open this three-game American League East series.

It was just Toronto’s third win over Tampa Bay in their past 10 meetings, and dealt the Rays their fifth loss in the past six outings.

Rays starter David Price has been dominant against Toronto during his career, with a 9-2 record and 2.06 ERA in 12 starts.

Pick: Tampa Bay +104

Chicago Cubs at Miami Marlins (-123, 7)

Chicago has lost six of its past eight and has been outscored 20-6 during its current three-game losing streak.

The Cubs turn to Matt Garza to stop the slide. The right-hander came within an out of a complete game his last time out, silencing Milwaukee with 8 2/3 strong innings. Two errors cost Chicago dearly on Tuesday, leading to three unearned runs.

Garza was outstanding in picking up his first victory of the season Thursday, striking out nine in 8 2/3 innings against Milwaukee. Garza allowed just three hits and no earned runs. The right-hander is 3-1 in five career starts against the Marlins.

Mark Buehrle makes his third NL start, but his 14th against the Cubs. The left-hander went 5-4 with a 4.15 ERA against Chicago in 11 seasons with the cross-town White Sox. Buehrle allowed eight hits and three runs in 6 1/3 innings Thursday in a 3-1 loss at Philadelphia.

Pick: Under 7

The YANKS are the better team on all fronts and Kuroda looked great in his last start in the home opener I'll go back to them tonight by a deuce ................................................ I was leaning JAYS initially but after looking at both pitchers numbers vs their opponents tonight I think the U 8 is the safer play.................................................................. Sometimes teams lay an egg after a HUGE offensive outburst but with how well TEX is playing top to bottom I have to take them at basically even money today.................................................................... Garza has had a great start to the year but the CUBS have been outscored 20-6 L3 obviously losing them all. Give me Buehrle at home with the better team at -130 all day.............................................................Greinke is awesome at home but with how hot the Doyers have been -170 is way to high,gimmie the dog in this one................................................................................The Royals can't buy a win so even with a crap pitcher on the bump I'll back Les Tigres again for the sweep.................................................................................STL is just playing better ball right now and Garcia is a freak at home so I think he'll fair better than the start in CINCY....................................................................OAK for many of the same reasons as yesterday. Their starter is overrated and their pen is crap plus the are getting slurped by the public for the PooHoles trade............................................................................ After 17 runs in SEA last night I think the bats may take the day off today especially with Lowe's sinker cooking and Vargas being steady but with a 20 mph wind out to left I'll wait on that one for a bit

1-0 in MLB last nite and a loss with the Devs on the ice. Tonite, again, roll w/ Yanks RL over Twinks. DOn't expect a dominating performance from Marquis. Huroda to stay sharp. That's it, one play.....

MLB: LA Angels vs. Kansas City

Pick:: LA Angels

Analysis:

Doc's Sports Friday MLB Free Play. 10* Winner on Thursday get more of the action on Friday from three different sports!

Free MLB Baseball Prediction From Doc's Sports: Take #975 L.A. Angels over Kansas City (8 p.m., Friday, May 24) It's been a tough season for the Los Angeles Angels so far. But there's way too much talent on this team to stay down forever, and they've started to show signs of life this week. They dug themselves a very similar hole last year and ended up having one of the best records in baseball from the end of May on. I think they have the potential to do that again as they have an important four-game series with a pretty good Kansas City Royals team. Jason Vargas goes for the Halos on Friday, and he got off to a horrible start to the 2013 season. It may have been the adjustment period for a new team and surroundings or poor offseason conditioning, but he just couldn't get it going in April. But since then he's been fantastic in May. In four starts he's 3-0 with a 2.20 ERA and 1.05 WHIP to go along with a 23-8 K/BB ratio. One of those starts was against the Royals in which he pitched seven strong innings while allowing only two runs in picking up a win. The Royals counter with journeyman Luis Mendoza, who has bounced back and forth from the starting rotation, bullpen and minor leagues throughout his career. Mendoza is just a stopgap who really doesn't have good enough stuff to pitch deep into games. He holds a 5.50 ERA and 1.36 WHIP this season and hasn't found a good rhythm yet. He'll be up against it today with how well the Angels are swinging the bats. I'd be surprised if Mendoza can get them through five innings today, which will put extra pressure on the bullpen. Take Los Angeles in this one.
