Top Play Of The Day! St. Louis Cardinals

Royals will go down in flames tonight.

That Royals line does look a little low for such a hot team. And Boggs isn't that spectacular. It's as though books are asking for KC money.

Why? Better starter, hotter team, at home...Everything says KC wins this game. The only reason to really bet STL in my opinion is they are a bigger name team. They don't have much more talent though.

GL though.

best bet, why??? KC 4-0 vs stl this year, at best this game is a toss up.

Don't you guys know? Haven't you watched "Back to the Future?" He has a sports almanac from the future. LOL. At this point, w/ easy wins in last few days that he predicted, I'm beyond questioning anymore right now.

royals have never seen Boggs. Cardinals are the better team they will get the W.

im not worried about that bill you can bury yourself in stats but im looking at the future (todays)performance.

I'm afraid Tom Selleck is right...KC saw Pinero last time out...and there was no Pujols...I like the play..

I am in no way bashing you at all or saying your play is stupid. I am just throwing out some things as well for you to look at. Call me a homer if you want but I have pretty good insight into Royals game, and I would not bet against this team right now, NO WAY. I can see this winning streak lasting for awhile, they have a ton of energy. I just hope Guillen keeps his mouth shut from now on. lol. St. Louis hasn't exactly faced Davies very much either, just once. DAVIES is 1-0 when starting against ST LOUIS with an ERA of 1.29 and a WHIP of 1.143. His team's record is 1-0 (+1.3 units) in these starts. That was earlier this month on 6/17/2008 where Davies pitched 7 innings giving up just 1 run, and only 5 hits. Kansas City has won 6 straight and 11 out of the last 12. St. Louis has lost 3 straight, 4 out their last 5, and are 3-7 their past 10 games. You can't give me the this looks too good to be true on this game either because it is pretty much 50/50 on consensus. I see absolutely no reason to play St. Louis tonight, and alot of reasons to take KC. Just some things to think about, BOL tonight

I take into consideration stats and trends to help with decision making, but one trend stands out like a virgin at a swingers convention:

Hard to ignore and STL will swing the bats.

Here's the thing I can't figure? W/ all these trends you guys say favor KC and w/ KC as hot as they are, why is this line so low? Book as begging for KC money. It looks too easy.

They are getting plenty of Cardinal action, why do they need it any higher? Line seems right to me -125 to -130. Who would lay higher juice than that on KC is probably what the books are thinking.

The general public will pretty much always bet against the Royals as a favorite. That's just the way it is. If you switch the name Royals to the Tigers or Yankees and this line is -140+ and the public is on them 70%. As it is the line is -120 and the public is on the Cards around 67% according to scoresandodds.

I actually think the Cards have a good chance of winning this game, but I don't see why anyone would bet against the Royals with how they've been. They are the #1 team in interleague play. That just shows how weak the NL is.

I don't know how you are doing it MrBaseball. I rarely have that much confidence in my POD, just baseball being what it is, and you sir have done it for the last three days that I know of( crystal ball like predictions). :toast: Keep up the great work.

Under was the best play here. Don't know why they hung 9.5 after hanging 8.5 the night before.
