Hot Lines: Monday's best MLB bets
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
San Francisco at Colorado (-140, 10 1/2)
This is the highest total the weak-hitting Giants have seen all season. They only average 3. 5 runs per game so their totals usually come in around eight runs or so and their O/U record is still 22-22-1.
But today Patrick Misch shares the hill with Jorge De La Rosa and the duo is currently working on a combined ERA that's getting dangerously close to 15.
Still, you have to think this total's pretty high. The books already boosted the juice up a nickel on the under and Colorado has played over just once over its last five.
Pick: under
Kansas City at Boston (-165, 9 1/2)
Kansas City's 3.84 runs per game average isn't going to scare many opposing pitchers, but the Royals have been putting some runs on the board lately. They've put at least seven on the board in three of their last four heading into the first game of this series in Boston.
Meanwhile the Red Sox just keep mashing with the best team batting average and OPS in the bigs. David Ortiz is starting to come around too and smashed a pair of dingers on Sunday.
Pick: over
