#Royals SP Ervin Santana has the 3rd best home ERA (0.78) among AL pitchers

Kansas City #Royals (9-3 record) own the second best daytime winning percentage in MLB (Red Sox, 9-2)

Tampa Bay #Rays had won 64 consecutive games when scoring 8+ runs until Wednesday's 9-8 loss

Tampa Bay #Rays bullpen has thrown a MLB-low 62.1 innings - has the highest ERA of any group (5.20)

Tampa Bay #Rays starting pitchers have gone at least 5 innings in every game - only team in MLB that can make that claim

Tampa Bay #Rays lead the majors with 24 runs in the 1st inning - their highest scoring frame

Tampa Bay #Rays have held a lead in 10 of their 15 losses this season

Before playing the UNDER in Kansas City - I doubt two Dominican Republic pitchers will enjoy pitching in near freezing weather

#Rays just got to Kauffman Stadium and with storm now tracking differently are under impression they will play. Won't be fun though.

It's 40 degrees with a 20-mph wind from the north at Kauffman Stadium. No precipitation at moment but there's a rain/snow mix in the area.

#Padres position players have hit for a combined .380 average (19x50) against Cubs SP Travis Wood

The UNDER is 7-0 when the Chicago Cubs face a left-handed starter this season (3-4 record)

#Padres SP Eric Stults is 0-3 w/7.24 ERA in 3 career road starts against the Cubs

I remember the wind was blowing 20-25 mph straight out the last time Travis Wood faced the Padres at Wrigley - forgivable effort

Couple of items that just came down:

#MLB #RedSox - David Ortiz, Rest - was not in the starting lineup Thursday (5/2) at Toronto

Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin6m
Peavy out tonight with back spasms. Santiago getting the start

Had a feeling Big Papi would get the day off when shooting the video this morning - no play on the White Sox/Rangers now due to the pitching change
