Hot Lines: Tuesday's best MLB bets

Chicago White Sox at Cleveland (-148, 8)

For some odd reason, it seems like the majority of bets are going to the Tribe in this game. Obviously, all those Cleveland bettors looking at Aaron Laffey’s numbers in his recent starts. The lefty recently went three straight starts without allowing a single run and his ERA has shrunken to a miniscule 1.46.

But people are missing the point here. In spite of Laffey’s impressive pitching, the Indians are only 2-3 in his starts because his teammates can’t hit. Cleveland's .233 team batting average is dead last in the major leagues and their 205 runs in 51 games puts them second to last in that category in the American League. Chicago is leading the AL Central division and they have better stats in just about every category. Besides that, it’s not like the White Sox have a liability in their starting pitcher with Mark Buehrle on the hill. This is a great price for the streaking White Sox against a slumping opponent.

Pick: White Sox


Texas at Tampa Bay (-155, 9)

Texas’ batting lineup is eating up right-handers this year, which is bad news for Andy Sonnanstine – a young pitcher who is battling inconsistency. Although Sonnanstine has a complete-game shutout on his resume this season, he’s also had enough bad starts to jack up his ERA to 5.09. You can bet the Rangers’ batters (hitting .289 against righties) are getting ready to take advantage of Sonnanstine as he comes off one of the worst starts of his career, a 9-1 loss to Oakland.

But the Rays aren’t a bad hitting team either and they’ll get a look at a pitcher they’ve had success against in the past. Vincente Padilla has won his last five decisions, but in his career against Tampa Bay he has a 9.28 ERA and an 0-2 record. There could be some fireworks in Tampa tonight.

Pick: Over
