My forum is down for SBrODDS so forgive me if the line I post on this game is off from the books online. I bet it last night very early. I got a feeling my side is gonna get bet HARD today, but I'm still going with this play.
I got the Royals today -133 with Chen on the mound.
I'm betting against Fernandez and the Marlins for the first time this year in this prime-time steal of a price.
Fernandez is one of my favs in my stable of up n comers. Hate rooting against this guy because I love watching him on the mound. But the bottom line here is the Royals should be a -180 fav.
Fernandez has been shaky on the road all year. Had a rough start last game. I say he goes 5 innings today as long as he isn't in dominant fashion which is unlikely.
Fernandez basically has to be perfect out there, get some miracle help from the bullpen, while still needing his offense to get on the board, which could be difficult, as Chen has been stingy lately and the Marlins are still the Marlins- worst offense in MLB.
Royals could easily win this game with 2 or 3 runs.
KC is just plain fire since the break. 17 of their last 20, Chen has been superb, this line is jacked to the max in my honest opinion. Makes zero sense.
I suggest betting it as early as you can if you like it. I don't see how this line won't go up before game time.
ROYALS CHEN -133
Let's do a top or bottom today:
