Is anyone else thinking on biting at this Royals game tonight? I mean at +210 this seems to be some sort of a bargain. Nunez seems to have gotten his control trouble under control down in Omaha while rehabbing, and has proven to have some nasty stuff. His K/IP is impressive in his young time in the league. It isnt completly rare for a team to have a poor scounting report on a guy like Nunez. At most he will go 6 innings, and that could only be a couple times and change through the order. Wakefield has given up plenty of hits on this little win streak he has started, and that leds me to believe that his knucklball isnt moving as well as it could. He has been bailed out by big run support numerous times. Boston is prone to overlook a team like the Royals, as they have dropped games to them at home the last 3 years. If the Royals are going to steal one, then tonight would be that night.

Let me know what you think.

Sox always seem confused against pitchers like Nunez who they've basically never seen before. But Wake has been pitching very well lately and I don't like the idea of going against this knuckleballer when he's streaking. That said, I'm on the under.

Thanks for the thoughts Jibba. That might be the play to make in this game. I just dont trust how many hits Wakefield has been giving up. If you look at his last 5 starts, he has only given up less than 4 ERs once. Thats not the numbers of a guy who has won 4 or his last 5.

True. But I should note something I left out of my first post accidently. Wake has better numbers against KC than against any other AL team. So I'm hoping that continues. BOL.
