Monday's betting tips: Crawford returns to BoSox

Who’s hot

MLB: The over is 16-5 in the last 21 meetings between the Nationals and Astros.

MLB: The White Sox have won 23 of Mark Buehrle’s last 30 starts against Kansas City.

WNBA: The over had cashed in on nine of Los Angeles' last 14 home games heading into Sunday's action.

Who’s not

MLB: Baltimore is just 7-23 in its last 30 games overall.

MLB: Milwaukee has won two of its last 10 road games.

WNBA: San Antonio has dropped four straight against the number.

Key stat

490 - Jim Thome hit a 490-foot home run at Target Field on Sunday, the longest dinger in the field's history. With that dinger, Thome moves four homers away from the 600 milestone in his career.

Injury that shouldn’t be overlooked

Grady Sizemore, Cleveland Indians: Sizemore left Sunday’s game in the third inning with a right knee bruise and his status for Monday’s doubleheader against Minnesota is in question. Sizemore missed some time earlier this season with a right knee injury and is hitting only .234 with 10 homers this season.

Game of the day

New York Yankees at Tampa Bay Rays (+110, N/A)

Notable quotable

"He was a little shaky, but got better as the game went on. Probably a little jittery, a little nervous, first time back after a long time. But after he settled down, he found the strike zone." - Dusty Baker on Dontrelle Willis' first MLB start in more than a year. Willis gave up two runs on four hits in a no-decision against the Tigers last week and is set as a +100 underdog at Pittsburgh.

Notes and tips

The Boston Red Sox will get a big part of lineup back Monday as Carl Crawford is expected to suit up after finishing up a two-game rehab stint at Triple-A Pawtucket. Crawford, who has missed the last 24 games with a hamstring injury, was hitting just .243 with six homers and eight steals before hitting the shelf. The Red Sox are set as -135 favorite at Baltimore on Monday.

So far so good for Joe Nathan. The Twins gave Nathan his closing job back from Matt Capps on Saturday and he's nailed down two saves in as many days since then. Nathan, 36, now has five saves on the year. Minnesota's bullpen has been a problem for much of the season and is currently working on a 4.65 ERA.

Lady luck: Monday's best WNBA bet
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

San Antonio Silver Stars at Los Angeles Sparks (-2, 158)

The San Antonio Silver Stars were all smiles after snapping a three-game losing streak on Thursday evening by slipping past Seattle 69-66.

Danielle Adams led the way with 23 points off the bench and the club’s reserves combined for 47 points on the evening, while playing the kind of inspired defense that helped the team get off to a 7-1 straight up start to the season.

“That's a huge part of who we are,” Silver Stars coach Dan Hughes said of his bench following the big win. “That was a really good game. I'm not sure either team deserved to lose that one.”

As happy as everyone was about breaking the slump, it didn’t do the club’s supporters much good. The Silver Stars were set as 5-point favorite against Seattle, dropping the cash for the fourth straight game.

San Antonio backers may have a tough time finding their way back to the pay window in this one too. Los Angeles has showed some life since Joe “Jellybean” Bryant took over coaching duties and just pulled off a comeback win over Tulsa, crawling back from 18 points down to book the win. However, the Sparks failed to cover as 8-point favorites.

"I thought that when we went zone, that slowed them up a bit, and probably most importantly for us, we executed offensively," Bryant said of the turnaround. "Earlier, we came down and took some quick shots, but we cut to it 10, and then, we started executing our plays ... Defensively, it is hard to guard them man-to-man, because they attack so well off the dribble. So we switched to zone, and that made a difference in the end."

We think San Antonio finally covers a spread in this one.

Pick: Silver Stars

Monday's streaking and slumping starting pitchers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Streaking

Chad Billingsley (8-7, 3.87 ERA), Los Angeles Dodgers

Billingsley has won three of his last four trips to the hill, allowing only four combined runs over that span. In his last start before the break, he blanked the Padres over eight innings and hit the 100-strikeout plateau during a 1-0 win.

He did walk five batters in that start though and the Dodgers are 5-12 in his last 17 road contests.

Roy Halladay (11-3, 2.45 ERA), Philadelphia Phillies

No surprise with another Halladay appearance in Streakers, but he’ll head into Monday’s start against the Cubs well rested after the team pushed him back a couple of days. Halladay threw a couple of scoreless innings in the All-Star Game and the Phillies have won each of his last 10 outings.

Halladay has struck out at least seven batters in four of his last six starts and leads the league in starter money standings, up 11.87 units for his supporters.

Slumping

Jordan Lyles (0-4, 4.60 ERA), Houston Astros

Lyles takes the mound for the ninth time in search of his first win in the big leagues and looks to improve on a rough outing his last time last.

He gave up seven hits and five earned runs in a 6-3 loss to Florida, but Houston is more worried about his health down the road that a few frustrating starts now.

"Getting up to near 165, 170 [innings] is what we kind of thought about," manager Brad Mills told reporters about a season inning count for Lyles. "We might go over that a little bit, depending on where he's at. Those are some pretty good numbers. If he reaches that, we really need to take a look at it. You're looking at a 15-20 [innings] increase [over 2010]."

Kyle Davies (1-8, 7.74 ERA), Kansas City Royals

Davies has dropped each of his last seven starts and has lasted only 9 1/3 innings combined over his last three trips to the hill.

Maybe there was a silver lining in his last outing, a 6-4 loss to Detroit. Davies was terrible in the first three innings of that one, allowing five runs, but settled down the rest of the way to keep the Tigers off the scoreboard for the next three innings.

MLB trade deadline forecast: Jimenez, Ramirez moving?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Major League Baseball’s non-waiver trade deadline is just two weeks away and several teams in the playoff hunt will try to bolster their rosters by making a deal.

Here is a look at eight teams that could use an upgrade, with analysis on what they need, why it will help and possible players they might target.

All standings and stats were compiled following Saturday's games.

AMERICAN LEAGUE

Cleveland Indians (49-43, 1-game lead in AL Central)

What they need: Corner outfielder.

Why it will help: The Indians are currently without their best player, Shin-Soo Choo, who is on the disabled list with a broken thumb. Choo isn’t expected to be back until late August or early September. While the Indians offense is ranked seventh in the American League, they are capable of being a top-5 offense and might need to become one if they hope to make a playoff push. Choo's loss has left a gaping hole in the lineup and it needs to be filled.

Possible targets: Ryan Ludwick, Padres; Jeff Francoeur, Royals; Melky Cabrera, Royals.

Detroit Tigers (49-45, 1 back in AL Central)

What they need: Starting pitcher.

Why it will help: Outside of ace Justin Verlander, the Tigers rotation is littered with talented arms that have underachieved so far in 2011. Max Scherzer (4.53), Rick Porcello (4.78) and Brad Penny (4.50) all have ERA's above their career average, and Phil Coke (4.82), a converted relief pitcher, is unreliable. The Tigers have been desperate to add an arm and seem willing to get a front-line starter.

Possible targets: Derek Lowe, Braves; Ubaldo Jimenez, Rockies; Hiroki Kuroda, Dodgers.

Texas Rangers (54-41, 3-game lead in AL West)

What they need: Starting pitcher; relief pitcher.

Why it will help: Derek Holland has come on strong lately and has pitched consecutive complete-game shutouts, so adding a starter isn't a pressing need. Nonetheless, with the type of arms the Rangers will be up against in the playoffs, it couldn’t hurt. Also, don't be surprised if the Rangers try to add a reliever to help shore up the back end of a bullpen that ranks 12th in the AL with a 4.56 ERA.

Possible targets: Ricky Nolasco, Marlins; Andrew Bailey, Athletics.

Los Angeles Angels (51-44, 3 back in AL West)

What they need: Power bat.

Why it will help: There's a decent chance the Angels stand pat at the trade deadline, but if they look to add a piece, they'll probably try to find a power bat. Their offense ranks 11th in the AL in runs scored and they have just 79 home runs on the year, which is fifth worst in the league.

Possible targets: Aramis Ramirez, Cubs.

NATIONAL LEAGUE

St. Louis Cardinals (50-44, 1-game lead in NL Central)

What they need: Relief pitcher.

Why it will help: The Cardinals' offense, despite losing Albert Pujols for a stretch earlier this season, ranks second in the NL in runs scored. So if the Cards upgrade, they'll look to add a pitcher. While they could use a starter, bullpen is the more desperate area of need. The Cards are without setup man Eduardo Sanchez for the next six weeks, which means they need another arm to help out a bullpen that has a 4.03 ERA, sixth-worst in the NL.

Possible targets: Heath Bell, Padres; Leo Nunez, Marlins; Jason Isringhausen, Mets.

Milwaukee Brewers (49-45, 0.5 back in NL Central)

What they need: Third baseman.

Why it will help: The Brewers aren’t satisfied with the production they’ve gotten from third baseman Casey McGehee, who is batting just .221 with five home runs this year. McGehee batted .285 with 23 HRs and 104 RBI last year and the Brewers were hoping for similar numbers in 2011.

Possible targets: Wilson Betemit, Royals.

Pittsburgh Pirates (48-44, 1 back NL Central)

What they need: Power bat; catcher.

Why it will help: It would be easy to say the Pirates should add a starter, given the lack of overall talent in their rotation. But the reality is their starters are pitching too well to replace. The more pressing need for the Bucs is a power bat in the lineup, which could help improve a lineup that ranks 12th in the NL in runs scored and 14th in slugging. Another area in need of upgrade is catcher, since Ryan Doumit and Chris Snyder are both on the disabled list.

Possible targets: Carlos Pena, Cubs; Geovany Soto, Cubs.

Arizona Diamondbacks (50-44, 3.5 back in NL West)

What they need: Relief pitcher.

Why it will help: The D-Backs’ lineup has exceeded expectations and their starting pitching isn't the disaster that many expected it would be, so adding a reliever appears to be the No. 1 priority. General manager Kevin Towers has reportedly made contact with several teams about adding a piece to his bullpen, so it appears to be a matter of when, not if.

Possible targets: Brad Ziegler, Athletics; Jason Isringhausen, Mets; Kerry Wood, Cubs.

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

Milwaukee Brewers at Arizona Diamondbacks (-115, 9)

It doesn’t sound like the Milwaukee Brewers are finished dealing just yet.

After making waves to pick up K-Rod from the Mets last week, word has it they’re zeroing in on Kansas City Royals third baseman Wilson Betemit.

This news comes following a tough couple of games for the Brew Crew coming out of the All-Star break. They were outscored 16-3 in the first two games of their series against Colorado before rebounding to earn a split in the four-game set.

Reports indicate the Brewers should have Ryan Braun back in the lineup Monday after he sat out Sunday’s game with a hamstring injury.

The Brewers have had a tough time on the road over the last little while and it’s hard to put too much trust in Randy Wolf. We’ll put our cash on this being a high-scoring affair.

Pick: Over

Florida Marlins at New York Mets (-130, 8)

The Florida Marlins just hope that Clay Hensley is what the rotation needs right now.

Hensley, who has been out of action since June 1 with a shoulder injury, will come off the DL to start Monday after coming out of the bullpen for the first part of the season.

“My heart’s always been in the rotation,” Hensley told reporters. “I was very happy to be doing what I was doing out of the bullpen.

“But to get the opportunity to do this again and get back in the rotation, it’s almost like I’m starting all over again.”

Hensley was a serviceable starter for the Padres back in 2006, but that was a long time ago. The Marlins are rolling right now with eight wins in their last nine games and the run support was great during a weekend series against the Cubs.

We’ll jump on board with Hensley at this price.

Pick: Marlins
