4* Money Maker
(MLB) Kansas City vs. Detroit,
Money Line: -120.00 Kansas City (Away)
Result: Win
Taking the ROYALS here. We have had Duffy in our stable several times this year. Guy is a solid under the radar starter. Can't argue the fact that KC has played like crap on the road. But Duffy gives them a more than solid shot at win here. KC 8-3 in his last 11 starts. A 2.04 road ERA, .98 WHIP . 213 BA against. I'll gladly grab him at this price over Pelfrey. So he has turned in 2 solid road starts heading into the break. His ERA was 5.13 before dropping into the 4.5s with 12+ innings of 2 run ball. He still has been lit up at home with an ERA approaching 6 (5.70) in starts with opposing hitters slapping him at a .363 clip! He has given up 12 HRs so far in 98 innings when he gave up 11 all of last year in 164. In 2 of the last 4 years when he played basically an entire year (30,5,29,3 starts) he has allowed hitters to hit 300 or better. Even in the 2 injured years if you want. So this years .329 is more of the same. And that means the Royals getting some chances at scoring runs. 4* Money Maker KC ROYALS
