Hot lines: Tuesday's best MLB bets

Seattle Mariners at Detroit Tigers (-180, 8.5)

The Tigers had a disappointing series over the weekend, dropping three of four to one of the teams they figure to be battling in October -- the Rangers. Especially disappointing was an extra-inning loss on Sunday in which the winning run crossed on a squeeze play that replays revealed should have been a foul ball. The Mariners had an even worse weekend, getting swept at home by the White Sox and enduring Philip Humberโ€™s perfect game on Saturday afternoon.

The Mariners were among the worst teams in the majors last season but did manage to have some success against the Tigers, winning the season series 6-4. They averaged a robust 5.4 runs in the 10 games while holding Detroit to 3.7.

Seattle starter Jason Vargas is coming off his strongest outing of the season, a seven-inning effort against Cleveland in which he allowed one run on four hits while striking out seven.

Seattle's Justin Smoak (hamstring) got the day off Sunday but should be available for Tuesday

The Tigers have been struggling at the plate since their hot start. A tough weekend has dropped their team average down to .246. Leadoff hitter Austin Jackson is in a 2-for-27 slump.

Pick: Mariners

Washington Nationals at San Diego Padres (110, 6.5)

The Nationals are off to their best start since moving from Montreal and seek to continue their solid play when they open a three-game series at San Diego on Tuesday.  Washington is 6-2 in one-run games.

Washington starter Gio Gonzalez has hurled seven innings of two-hit shutout ball in each of his last two starts and will be well-rested after Sundayโ€™s postponement.

The Padres have their first two-game win streak of the season after beating the Phillies Saturday and Sunday. San Diego scored 11 runs in those wins after scoring just eight runs over their previous four contests. Catcher Nick Hundley homered and had a career-best four RBIs on Sunday.

Padres starter Clayton Richard Richard has allowed 16 runs (12 earned) in his last two starts and has given up four homers in 18 1/3 innings.

Washingtonโ€™s Ian Desmond has two homers in 12 career at-bats against Richard.

Pick:
Nationals

Rockies Pirates OVER 7.5 runs! both teams have potential to have very solid offensive days and correia historically struggles at home with pittsburgh and moyer can only go for so long! No way correria vs moyer should have a total under 8! GL to all!!

TB is starting to get back in stride winning the final 2 games of their roadie and then taking 2 of 3 from the Twinkies. The Angels did take 2 of 3 from BALTY in their last series but still only managed 3 wins in their 7 game home-stand and some Weaver kid was on the bump for 2 of them. -140 is right at the edge of my wheelhouse for juice but with the RAYS being the hotter team and having the better starter I'll give it a go tonight...............................................................................The Bravos bats have cooled off a bit but the overs keep rolling in so until they go under I'm going back to the well..............................................................................PHILLY finally broke out for some runs in the 9th last night and maybe that will wake their bats up. If not facing Collmenter might as he's been brutal in his first 3 starts this year and may be having a bit of a sophomore slump. His counterpart tonight hasn't showed any signs of that as Worely has been solid to start his second full year in the show.

KC wins tonight, Lowe allowed 11 hits in six innings against the Royals, then 8 against Seattle. Sanchez had some good stuff against Detroit. He just needs to get through the first 6 and I think he will settle in. Also on Pitts vs Col Under 7.5. and lastly Wash

I really like this Alvarez kid the JAYS have going tonight. I said that 5 days ago and got burned but if you look over his 13 career starts you'll see he has 3-4 great starts and then a bit of a let down,then 3-4 quality outings and then a let down and so on. So just because he got touched up in his last start doesn't scare me off of him tonight. "Also 3 of Alvarez's 13 career starts have come against the Orioles, and he is 1-0 with a 2.45 ERA. Andf he's may be getting BAL at a good time as they've scored 3 or less in 5 of their L6 games.....................................................................................................................................Hunter goes for BALTY and he has been hit hard in his last two starts. Hunter has allowed 6 Hr's in his past 2 starts, including 4 over 6 innings against the Blue Jays on April 13. Hunter is 1-3 with a 6.65 ERA in nine games (seven starts) against Toronto." And thanx to the shitty ass Royal the JAYS should be feeling confident after a nice 4 game sweep in K.C.

The Buccos have been under machines this year with only 2 of their 15 games going over the total. And even COL who's played 9 of their 15 games at Coors field only have 7 overs to 8 unders. Jamie "ole Man"moyer is coming off a nice start and Corriea has look great all season. Also both teams pens are in solid form. My only concern is the 12-17 MPH win blowing out to centre. Normally I could check to see what the totals were like when the weather was like this last year but now that covers has changed the matchup page I can find that info. If any knows please let me know.......thanx

2-3 posted this season ( -.2 units) gotta go with the giants tonight with matt cain only giving up 9 hits and 5 runs in 24 IP this season and only a .50 whip(that means not alot of baserunners for anyone who doesnt know). cinncinati only hitting .216 overall their last 10 games. while giants are hitting .274 their last 10 and over .300 in their last 2 games. and they are hitting against latos who has 15.1 IP and gave up 21 hits and 14 rpg with a 8.22 era and a 1.89 whip. this is a monster play for me and hope many can cash on it as well. definitely my best play of year so far for 3 units.............also playing 1 unit on the mets...gl everyone. and be carefull on that washington play i almost took it myself untill i saw that richards only start at home was against the dodgers and he gave up 0 ER in that start and the dodgers bats were very hot around that time.

Yesterday things started out late but some late goals and runs ended up costing me some units. On the ice I was 2-2-1 -0.4 units and still think that OTT goal should not have counted. He may have missed the puck by a nanometer but he still looked to have booted Lundqvist's hand outta the way. And on the bases MINNY and STL both gave up 9th inning runs to drop me to 2-3 -1.1 units for the day on bases and 74-70-2 +7.35 units on the season....................................................................................................................................For tonight the Injuns look solid on the bases having won 7 of their L9 games ALL on the road and hosting a KC team thats drop 10 STRAIGHT. Also Lowe's sinker has been on so far this year and Sanchez (albeit in only a few starts) has looked like a bust. Also the NATS look like solid value at -130 in SD. After a brutal start to open the year Gio-G has been deadly with B2B mirror image starts throwing 7 innings and only allowing two hits in each start. Time to go dig a lil deeper and see what else is out there.

Think I'll wait til tomorrow to try to get it back though. The Wain-train still hasn't pulled outta the station,if anything my initial lean in that one would be the O 7.5. The Cards tomorrow with Lynn on the bump may be worth a look though.
