Back on the winning track last night with a Dice K slaying and now 13-7 on the year. Sitting out these day games is no longer an option which is why I am back on this shit again right now. I know it may not be smart to touch these day games but I think I found enough information to possibly make a little bit of dough here. Here we go:
Kansas City-Detroit 'UNDER' 8 +102
The first two games of this series had a combined 30 runs. So you're telling me that the oddsmakers are dangling an lazy 8 this afternoon? Get the hell out of here with that. A lot of people don't want to lay the chalk on Detroit and a lot of people don't want to sip the juice with the Royals. So the easy way out is to assume they are going to continue pounding away on each other and score a ton of runs. THINK AGAIN! First of all, our buddy Jerry Crawford is behind home plate and the UNDER is 3-0 with him this season. He issues only 4.3 walks per game and averages only 263.0 pitches per game. Gil Meche has done a fine job since coming over from the Mariners and after losing the first two games of this series on bad pitching, the Royals need a good performance. Meche has actually had a lot more success pitching during the day in his career with a 3.82 ERA and 1.34 WHIP in daytime games compared to 4.98 ERA and 1.48 WHIP in night games. Meche has always been a better pitcher in April and this is one of the last times we see him. I am not a big fan of Detroit's lineup today as they opt to sit Magglio Ordonez, Omar Infante and Ivan Rodriguez. That leaves them with a starting nine today that is batting a lifetime combined .272 versus right handed pitchers. Nothing special. Bonderman is on the mound for the Tigers this afternoon and although he has not been spectacular in daytime games, the Royals are also fielding a weak lineup today. Grudzielanek, Sanders and Shealy are all on the bench today and the starting nine for the Royals today are batting a combined lifetime .262 versus right handed pitchers. I have no doubt the Royals are going to struggle against Bonderman much like they did the first time they saw him this season. Bonderman is exactly the kind of guy the Royals don't want to see. The 1-4 spots for each team have some good hitting options but the 5-9 spots are the weakest they have been the entire series and I think that is going to lead to a low scoring game. Last season when the wind was blowing IN FROM LEFT FIELD at 10mph or less, the UNDER was 8-3 at Comerica Park. A lot of people are pounding the OVER not realizing how many big bats versus righties are missing from this lineup. GO UNDER!
