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

Milwaukee at Pittsburgh (+110, 8)

Ben Sheets had a rough day the last time he took the hill, giving up three long flies and six earned runs in 7-2 spanking at the hands of the Dodgers. Actually, it was more like one tough inning, considering he'd thrown six shutout innings before it all fell apart.

That loss pushed his current winless streak to three games, which is almost enough to stop the presses in Milwaukee. But it wasn't like he was horrible before the bad inning in his last start. He allowed three earned runs over seven innings in a no-decision in his previous start and four runs in another no-decision before that.

So all tolled, it looks like a decent price from the Brewers' ace today.

Pick: Milwaukee



St. Louis at San Diego (-130, 7 1/2)

It's easy to look at a couple teams pounding the under, in an under park, with two under starting pitchers taking the mound and quickly send in a wager that this one will stay beneath 7 1/2 runs. But this total makes it tricky.

Chris Young and Brandon Looper have a combined ERA of over 10 runs during their last three starts and St. Louis' bats are finally coming around, batting .295 over the last 10 games.

Pick: over 7 1/2

New York Mets at Atlanta Braves [ESPN | 7:10 PM ET]

Mets: New York has lost the last five times Mike Pelfrey has gone to the mound, with his last win coming back on April 15th. Pelfrey has been a tough-luck loser in his last starts, as the Mets scored only one run for him while he gave up three. He is 0-1 in two road starts with an 8.10 ERA and has not enjoyed much success against the Braves, going 1-2 in three starts with a 5.40 ERA.

Mets are 2-6 in Pelfrey's last 8 road starts.
The OVER is 7-2 in New York's last 9 Wednesday games.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 2 (UNDER - Total Play of the Day)

Braves (-135, O/U 9.5): Atlanta's Jair Jurrjens will try to beat the Mets for the second time this season and stay unbeaten at home. Jurrjens earned the win in a 6-3 victory at New York on April 25th, and he is perfect at home this season with a 3.-0 mark and 1.54 ERA. However, he has won consecutive starts just once this season with one win in his last four.

The UNDER is 8-1-1 in Atlanta's last 10 games as a favorite.
The UNDER is 10-1 in the last 11 meetings at Atlanta.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 4



Cleveland Indians at Chicago White Sox [8:11 PM ET]

Indians: Cleveland's Paul Byrd has enjoyed a lot of career success against the White Sox, but he will need to overcome some struggles on the road in order to earn another victory here. Byrd is a dominant 8-2 lifetime vs. Chicago with a 4.22 ERA. He is winless away from home though at 0-3 with a lofty 6.53 ERA. Byrd is coming off his best start of the season at home against Oakland last Tuesday, pitching 7 1/3 scoreless innings with no walks and seven strikeouts in a 4-0 victory.

Indians are 7-4 in the last 11 meetings.

White Sox (-145, O/U 8.5): Chicago's Javier Vazquez has been slightly better at home this season with a 2-1 mark and 3.29 ERA. Vazquez will be making his first start at U.S. Cellular Field since back on April 28th, when he allowed just one run and four hits to Baltimore in eight innings of a game that was eventually called due to rain after 12 innings. The White Sox have won his last two starts, and he will be looking to rebound against the Indians after taking a loss at Cleveland in his very first outing of the year.

White Sox are 8-2 in Vazquez's last 10 starts on grass.
The UNDER is 16-5 in Chicago's last 21 games overall.

Key Injuries - NONE

The Cardinals lost both of them after going 5-2 in Looper's first seven starts of the season. He is 2-1 in three road starts this year with a 4.95 ERA and has enjoyed some success against the Padres, going 3-3 with an impressive 2.58 ERA.

Young has allowed just one run in three of his four starts at Petco but has only pitched there once in his last four outings. He is 0-2 lifetime in three starts vs. St. Louis despite a solid 2.95 ERA, getting the decision in a 5-0 home loss to Looper a little more than a year ago as he gave up four unearned runs.

Padres are 3-14 in their last 17 games following a loss.
The UNDER is 8-1 in San Diego's last 9 games as a favorite.
The UNDER is 9-2 in San Diego's last 11 home games.

San Antonio Spurs at Los Angeles Lakers
[TNT | 9 PM ET]

Spurs: If the defending NBA champions didn't need any more confidence, they certainly have to be feeling good after rallying back from an 0-2 deficit to win a series for the first time in franchise history. The Spurs became just the 20th road team in 100 attempts to win a Game 7 thanks to outstanding defense. They were 4-0 in the series when holding the Hornets under 100 points and accomplished something they had not after each of their previous four NBA titles - advancing past the second round. San Antonio veteran Robert Horry may have summed up his team's Game 7 performance best: ?We?re one of the smartest teams in the league. We didn?t make stupid mistakes tonight.?

Spurs are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 road games.
The UNDER is 7-3 in San Antonio's last 10 Wednesday games.
The UNDER is 13-6-1 in San Antonio's last 20 games as an underdog.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 95

Lakers (-7.5, O/U 196): LA star Kobe Bryant has been able to rest his aching back and spend time with his young daughters while his teammates have also enjoyed their time off since beating Utah 108-105 in Game 6 for the series clincher last Friday. However, the question of too much time off could also be a concern because it can sometimes halt momentum. "Five or six days off is too many in the playoffs," Lakers forward Pau Gasol said. "Two or three or four days off is perfect." LA is 7-2 ATS when playing with three days of rest of more.

Lakers are 9-2-1 ATS in their last 12 games overall.
Lakers are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games as a favorite.
The OVER is 6-2 in LA's last 8 conference finals games.
