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

Toronto at Chicago White Sox (-135, 8 1/2)

The Blue Jays are still a big longshot to get into postseason play, but they have put together an impressive eight-game winning streak to get on the Wild Card race radar, not eight games behind the Minnesota Twins.

A.J. Burnett gives the Jays a great chance to extend their winning streak today. Burnett leads the AL in strikeouts and can be untouchable when his curveball is biting and he's able to get out of the first couple of innings OK.

Toronto's offense is clicking too, helping over bettors cash in on seven of the club's last eight. The White Sox send Javier Vazquez, who has lost two of his last three, to the hill today.

Pick: Jays


L.A. Dodgers at San Diego (+125, 7 1/2)

Remember how the Dodgers struggled to get out of the gate under Joe Torre this year? Well forget all about it. L.A. is on a roll, making a serious push for the postseason with newcomers Manny Ramirez and Greg Maddux settling in.

Maddux gets the ball today against his former club and you have to think the crafty veteran is going to have the edge knowing the Padres' tendencies at the plate. Maddux dropped his first two starts in Dodger blue, but rebounded to beat these Padres in his last outing.

Pick: Dodgers
