4* RL Money
(MLB) Detroit vs. Kansas City,
Point Spread: -1.50 | 160.00 Kansas City (Home)
Result: Loss
Going ROYALS on the RUN LINE tonight. You know I hate laying numbers and I can't pull the trigger at -150. That is about as high as I would go anyway. But I think we can muster the runs for the added risk on the RL. We will toss out how well Vargas has been this year. 12-3 2.62 ERA 17 starts, 7-1 1.84 ERA in 9 home starts. Then we bring in Zimmerman. He had 2 nice starts last year vs KC going 14 innings giving up a run. But that was last year. He has a 5.87 ERA on this year. And that is with him being vastly improved from the first 2 months of the season. There was a 4 game stretch to start June where you though, OK, he is getting into a groove. Well that went out the window as his last 3 starts have 14 earned in 12.2 innings. How about a 6.99 road ERA in 9 starts. .317 BA against and 1.70 WHIP. Tigers 1-9 in Zimmerman's last 10 road starts. I think the Tigers will be in sell mode in the upcoming weeks, and the 'dead man walking' mentality is sinking in. 4* RL Money KANSAS CITY ROYALS
