Hot lines: Saturday's best MLB bets
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Milwaukee Brewers at St. Louis Cardinals (-127, 8.5)

The Brewers left left their bats in Milwaukee.

The team is mired in an offensive slump, scoring a mere seven runs over its past six games, all on the road. Not surprisingly, the Brew Crew were on a six-game skid entering Friday's game. But this is nothing new for the club when it steps outside of Wisconsin.

Milwaukee is 5-13 in opposing parks this season and is hitting a horrendous .220 as a visitor this year. And the team’s biggest two bats, Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder, couldn’t be colder. The duo was a horrific 2-for-30 in four straight losses to the Braves.

Five-hole hitter Casey McGhee has been equally dreadful. The Brewers' 2010 RBI leader is just 3-for-22 in the first six games of the road trip.

"We're seeing some guys that are really throwing the ball good against us," said Brewers manager Ron Roenicke. "And I think sometimes when you're not hitting you go out of the (strike) zone and the pattern that you're usually good in because you're trying to create something.

"Sometimes you're not patient enough. When we have the chance, we're not getting that hit."

Don’t expect that to change in St. Louis.

Pick: St. Louis



Atlanta Braves at Philadelphia Phillies (-120, NA)

Things are going better for the Braves' batters.

The over is 8-2 in Atlanta's last 10 games entering play on Friday. In a recent four-game set with Milwaukee, the Braves scored 24 runs in four games – all wins.

Outfielder Nate McLouth is carrying his weight and more for the Tomahawk Chops. Starting the year cold, he was dropped from No. 2 to No. 8 in the batting order. Since then, he is a sizzling 20-for-56 with a .471 on-base percentage.

But the Phillies are swinging hot bats too.

Philadelphia has seen six of its past eight games go over the total and is averaging more than 5.5 runs per game during that time. Manager Charlie Manuel has made several tweaks to his lineup to spark that surge, and it has paid off with several hitters, including outfielder Raul Ibanez who snapped an 0-for-35 streak.

“You know what, we’re swinging the bats well," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "We’ll see what happens. It should be exciting this weekend.”

Pick: Over
