4* Money Maker
(MLB) Kansas City vs. Miami,
Money Line: -105.00 Miami (Home)
Result: Loss
Taking the MARLINS here. I get that KC had run off 9 straight win. But that came to an end last night. I have seen on several occasions teams lose b2b after a long win streak comes to an end. Won't be easy going for the Royals as Tom Koehler has a 1.62 ERA over his last starts. Florida on the other hand gets to tee off on Edinson Volquez. I'll be honest. Volquez is what he is. He has never approached what he did back in 2008 (17-6 206Ks). He has had 2 nice years here in KC 13-7 3.05 and 13-9 3.55. But he has fallen off a cliff this year (5.04 ERA) and has been brutal on the road (6.18 ERA). So as I mentioned the road ERA is bad. Opposing hitters are slapping him at nearly a .290 BA. A 1.64 WHIP assures us that the Marlins will have ample scoring opportunities. His 7.17 August ERA, .388 BAA and 1.78 WHIP leads me think that KC's 9-0 run, will quickly turn to 9-2. 4* Money Maker MIAMI MARLINS
