Why is Santana only -127 at home against Joe 'gas can' Blanton
Line s/be -142, Blanton has been a batting practice starter all year, Royals have fire power in their line up, and KC's starter (Santana) has rock solid across the numbers this season.
Come on 2.77 ERA 44 K's and an outstanding 1.07 WH/IP makes you take notice, he pitches very well at home, compare that to Blanton's 0-7 record 6.62 ERA and a piss poor almost 2 base runner (1.97 ratio) per inning WH/IP.
Sure LA can rake, so can KC, but Santana has allstar game numbers, Blanton should have been demoted so far by now.
I think -127 (s/be -142) is a gift here, but I am leery. Very skeptical.
