    White Sox v Royals

    Royals have been lighting up Peavy last few starts, Santana been owning white Sox. Wanted to play white Sox but all the numbers tell me to take royals, but the line is moving against the royals.

    The entire board is on KC and Santana is awful. KC's bats are marginally better than CHW in 2013 and Peavy is head and shoulders the better SP. not sure there is value in this unless you believe in 3-6 AB's worth of data a year added up over the past 5 years and think KC hitters 'own' peavy.

    Thanks for the insights, Peavy is def better but unsure how much stock to put in the pitcher v team matchups. Some pitchers seem to do better in certain parks or against certain lineups, I believe this is a real factor in some circumstances. Scares me if most of the board is on kc. Think I'll just watch it

    Santana has electric stuff. If he was awful he wouldnt be a #2 starter in the bigs.

    This game is literally a coin flip. So i guess KC has some value.

    This is the Royals we are talking about, not a respectable franchise/organization.

    Great point. How about Lucas Harrell and Kevin Correia as well. they're great #2 starters as well, right? Can you at least bring up a valid counterpoint next time?

    Usually a 91 mph fastball is never considered 'electric', and considering even GMDM wasn't dumb enough to give up anything more than a AAA middle reliever, i doubt he is considered anything above average.
