Well, yesterday's play shows how fickle baseball can be. The Jays/Braves had 3 fewer baserunners than the Pirates/Royals, yet scored 17 fewer runs. Speaking of the Royals...
Baseball Play of the Day (37-37, +3.37*)
Kansas City Royals Team Total Over 4 (-112)
I love Pinnacle team totals, and that's where this play comes from.
I've got little confidence in Keppel, and even less in the KC bullpen, or I would play the Royals +130 here. From a numbers standpoint, this play is golden, but it is the Royals.
Bush's ERA - 4.86
Bush's road ERA - 7.18
Brewers' bullpen ERA - 5.13
Brewers give up 6.0 rpg away from home, and 5.4 overall.
Royals average 5.3 rpg at Kauffman Stadium
Royals average 8.0 rpg last 5
Royals average 5.7 rpg last 10
Small personal plays:
Blue Jays -125 for the series against the Mets.
My line would be -160. The Blue Jays are 9-2-1 in home series this year, including wins over the Red Sox (twice), A's, and White Sox, and a 1-1 split with the Yankees. The Mets aren't used to playing with a DH, and Pedro won't pitch in this series. The Mets other ace is Glavine, and the Jays kill lefties (I almost played Toronto tonight - they should be favored. I just played this instead).
Home runs -5 (-110)
