I know the royals don't have a chance today.
The A's have won all six meetings with Kansas City this season and the last 10 overall. They are 35-10 in the series since Mulder joined the team in 2000 after going just 27-20 in four seasons prior.
Mulder is 8-0 with a 1.72 ERA in nine career starts against the Royals. In two starts against them this season, he is 2-0 with an 0.50 ERA, his lowest ERA versus any opponent this year.
ROYALS PROBABLE STARTER: Mike Wood (1-4, 4.88 ERA). Acquired from Oakland in the three-team deal that sent pitcher Octavio Dotel to the A's on June 25, Wood has gone 0-4 in seven starts since winning his debut with the Royals on June 29. The rookie right-hander has allowed three runs or fewer five times during his winless streak, including Sunday when he didn't get the decision in the Royals' 6-4 home loss to Anaheim. This is the first appearance against the A's for Wood, who started his major league career in Oakland last season - going 2-1 with a 10.54 ERA in seven games, including one start. He is 0-3 with a 4.63 ERA in four road starts this season.
ATHLETICS PROBABLE STARTER: Mulder (15-3, 3.49 ERA). Mulder is 8-1 with a 3.57 ERA in 12 home starts, including three complete games, this season.
-240 is cheap, this should be a 300 game.
selection: A's -240
* 20 units to win *
most of the time i would be worried about a team seeing a pitcher for the first time, but in this case wood was in a's camp just up until a few months ago. they know what he throws, what he can and can't do.
and the royals know what mulder can do, WHAT EVER HE WANTS.
THIS IS AS EASY MONEY AS IT GETS. REMEMBER BOSTON YESTERDAY. WOW.
