Hot lines: Friday’s best MLB bets

Colorado Rockies at Washington Nationals (-125, 8)The Colorado Rockies couldn’t be happier to get the heck out of Atlanta after taking a four-game sweep on the chin and even though shortstop Troy Tulowitzki will likely be out for a few more days, Carlos Gonzalez may return from his wrist injury Friday.The Rockies could certainly use the boost. They may have won eight of their last 10 in Washington, may have their work cut out for them in D.C. this time around. The Nationals are doing a great job winning the games they’re supposed to, riding a 12-3 run in games in which they are favored. They’ve also managed to win 20 of their last 29 at home and are 8-1 in Jason Marquis’ last nine in front of the home crowd.For now at least, it looks as though Davey Johnson is the right man for the Nats’ clubhouse. “Davey’s been wonderful for this team,” F.P. Santangelo, the Nationals’ TV colormentator, told ESPN recently. “The one thing he’s done is make everyone feel included. I think the atmosphere in the clubhouse is different now.”
