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

Minnesota at Kansas City (-120, 8 1/2)

After 10 straight losses, the Royals seem to have reached their boiling point. Jose Guillen verbally blasted his teammates after a frustrating extra innings loss to the Twins last night in which they blew an 8-3 lead in the ninth inning.

"Too many babies here," Guillen told reporters after the game in an expletive-laced speech. "They don't know how to play the game and win the game right, the way it's supposed to be played. And that's the problem here. Now I know why this organization's been losing for a while. Now I know."

A situation like this can affect a team in a number of ways - it might tear them farther apart or it could help rally the troops. It was the second straight extra-innings loss to the Twins, which goes a long way in explaining the players' frustrations, but this isn't a team that handles losses well. Their 10-22 record after a loss demonstrates that this club isn't likely to feed off frustration like this. Guillen is probably right.

Pick: Twins



Los Angeles Dodgers at New York Mets (-115, 8 1/2)

The last time Brad Penny faced the Mets, it got ugly. Before the fifth inning was out, the right-hander had given up a career-high 10 earned runs in what would become a 12-1 Mets win. After the game, the Mets sounded like they had the right scouting report on Penny, who has a career 5.65 ERA against the Mets and 7.32 at Shea Stadium.

"With Penny, it seems like if he does struggle, it's going to be early. So if you get him early, you're going to be all right," said right fielder Ryan Church.

Since that game, Penny has struggled in general. The veteran is 0-2 in his last three starts and has a fat 6.63 ERA in that stretch (although, to be fair, much of that has been bad luck because his control and power has been fairly consistent). Still, the Mets seem to have his number, so you should expect the Mets to build off their emotional extra-innings win against the Marlins last night.

Pick: Mets
