    Getting White Sox with Sale on the mound at only -125 is a steal .....Pound It

    I'm aware that the Royals had a very promising Spring Training and savvy veteran Shields is on the mound but getting Chris Sale at only -125 holds great value today. This kid is incredibly filthy and was a CY Young candidate last year with 17 wins. White Sox offense was strong last year in scoring runs and the lineup is just about identical so runs should not be an issue.

    Many are saying this will be the Royals breakout year but I'm still skeptical and they'll need to prove it to me. If this was later in the season and both teams have similar records like last year, this line would easily be -200 or higher. The reason why this line is so low is because the books are overvaluing the Royals strong spring training and they have Shields on the mound. Shields had a good 2012 season but he'll be pitching mostly outdoors this year without the friendly indoor confines of Tropicana Field.

    Sale was one of my money making gems last year and I'm gonna ride this workhorse again this year.
    Take full advantage of this line because it has incredible value. Give me Sale over Shields at only -125 all day every day.

    Best of Luck

    Hate to be against you on this MDF. You're as solid as they come.

    I think Sale's in for some serious regression this year. His workload in 2012 will catch up to him. Really like the Royals' makeup. I got the number at an earlier price on KC; wouldn't necessarily take it where it is now.

    FTR, I'm fairly confident the Royals will finish ahead of the White Sox in the Central this year. I just think they have a better overall team.

    Good luck.

    Royals looked great in Spring Training no doubt and they had flashes of brilliance in a lot of home games at Kaufmann last year but this will be a road opener.

    I could be wrong but I seriously don't think Sale is due for a regression. This kid has so much filthy stuff, reminds me a lot of a young Randy Johnson in his prime. Similar pitching motion equally nasty stuff.

    We'll see what happens Coin .....good luck on your play.

    Sale basically carried my fantasy team last year, but he hit a wall down the stretch of the season. We'll see if he has his second wind now.

    I do not see this line being over -200 later in the season with both teams having similar record...

    Like the young Royals team myself. Think they might surprise a few people in central. Guess will see. Gl
