3-3 last night


MLB WEDNESDAY PICKS:

White Sox RL -124------- 5 Units

Atlanta Braves +124----- 2 Units

New York Yankees -142-------- 2 Units




KC ROYALS- in the final game of a road series were 7-19 last year, 5 of those games decided by 1 run. Thats only 19% of these games being decided by 1 run, when the league average is 34%, something along those lines... and winning at a rate of 27%.
I tip my cap to Jeremy Affeldt, he did a nice job yesterday, stunning.
Unless Elarton throws a complete game gem, Royals will not slow down the Sox tomorrow. Ozzie wants this sweep.
In a division where it could shape up to 4 teams within 5 or 6 games of each other down the stretch, this type of game is absolutely important for the Pale Sox.
And I know the Royals are not going to go 2-160. And playing against a team avoiding a sweep isn't recommended.. BUT lets not underestimate how terrible this Royals team really is.
AND starting 2-12 isn't out of question. Scott Elarton or anyone in that bullpen is hardly who i want on the bump to prevent that from happening.
I like my chances.

-Bravos, Kyle Davies did a nice job yesterday resting some arms in that pen. WIth a little rest and a nice start from Huddie, I'll take my chances.

-Yankees--- Lilly in 14 IP gave up 24 hits and 18 Earned Runs vs. the Spankees last year.
His previous outing was against Boston where he struck out 10 in 7 IP.... Boston is a team he has had success against.... going 3-0 against the Red Sox in 2005.
Soooo, success against the Red Sox, nice outing.
Not so successful against the Yankees, lets take our chances with a poor outing.
His 1st start of the year in the SkyDome he lasted 2.1 Innings against TB giving up 6 walks, 4 hits, and 3 ER

might be back for later games if all 3 of these lose. LOL

Good Luck Today

I'll give you another reason to suggest the high scores you see are not because of juiced balls as well.

It's because pitchers have fallen in love with off-speed stuff, getting too cute.

Case In Point.

Francisco Rodriguez, will touch 99, tonight was consistently 96... and he has a FILTHY slider.

He gets the bases loaded, because of throwing his slider I will point out... 10-9 game.

with Lew Ford... thats right, Lew Ford up to bat...

Ford swung thru a 96 MPH Fastball, just straight freakin heat, no chance to hit it. Ford fouls off a couple sliders, the count goes full, 3-2.

So what does K-Rod throw? of course it's his fastball, just challenge the guy, you throw upper 90's!!!!! Right!!?

WRONG. a 3-2 Slider to LEW FORD, thats right. walks in the tying run.

I can't even begin to explain to you how idiotic that is. If Bob Gibson or Bob Feller or Nolan Ryan were watching that game they seriously might have croaked right there. And I'm 27 years old, I'm not some old-timer giving this rationale!! LOL

Thats the problem with a lot of pitchers in baseball. Not any juiced balls.
