Hot Lines: Sunday's best MLB bets
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
L.A. Dodgers at Colorado (-120, 9 1/2)
It usually takes a team a while to figure itself out when a new manager comes in to take charge of the club, especially if that guy is Joe Torre. But after a rocky start, it seems as though Torre has his Dodgers on the right track now. They've won eight straight heading into today's matchup with the Rockies and are pounding the cover off the ball even though their big offseason signing, Andruw Jones, is still struggling with a terrible .163 batting average and just one dinger.
This is a great price on a Derek Lowe start too. He's held each of his last seven opponents to three or fewer runs.
Pick: Dodgers
San Francisco at Philadelphia (-180, 7 1/2)
If you're ever going to bet on the San Francicso Giants, you'd better make sure Tim Lincecum is on the hill. He suffered his first loss of the year in his last outing - a three-run, seven-inning effort against the Rockies - but he hadn't allowed a run over his two starts that preceded that one.
Lincecum has already earned more than three units for bettors on the year as he gets ready to share the mound with Cole Hamels today. Hamels rebounded in his last outing with a win after two rough starts, but it's hard to look past Lincecum as the underdog.
Pick: Giants
