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

Cleveland vs. White Sox (+110, 8)

It's not every day a 3-5 pitcher is favored at -120. Not every losing pitcher can chuck it like C.C. Sabathia, either.

Sabathia has given up only six runs over his past five starts while averaging more than seven innings over those games. Thanks to some pitiful run support, however, he managed to go only 3-2 during the stint. Not surprisingly, the under has cashed in his last four outings despite some low numbers and bettors are looking at another low one today.

Runs likely won't come easily while the Indians chase the White Sox for top spot in the AL Central at just 1 1/2 games back. Every series between these two teams will be crucial and you can expect a tough set here.

Pick: under



Arizona vs. Florida (+108, 9)

The Diamondbacks had it good for the first part of the season. They played 27 of their first 44 games at home and were the second most profitable home club in baseball with $887 for the $100-per-game bettor.

Only the Boston Red Sox earned more home cash with over $1200 in the wallets of their backers.

Things could be about to change for Arizona. The club will be living out of a suitcase for 17 of its next 23 games, worrisome for a team that's just 9-8 on the road so far this season.

The stretch kicks off tonight in Miami against the Marlins where temperatures are expected to rise to a humid 99 degrees today. That's a little steamier than the air conditioned facilities the Snakes are used to at Chase Field.

Pick: Marlins
