    THURS: Blanton v. The Royals - how do you cap 2 terrible things?

    On one hand you have one of the worst active SP in baseball in Blanton (playing on a team that is on fire) on the otherhand you have a craptastic failure of a franchise that is slumping right now.

    Can't play the over because I don't know the Royals could hit a 10th grader right now and Santana may limit the damage. But you'd its tough to trust your money on Blanton or the Royals having gone 3-7 their last 10 to not so good teams.

    Sure you could stay away but with so many trainwrecks in one game its too juicy to do so

    Yea good point, i watched some of the royals game last night, watched 2 batters work the count for like 15 minutes against lyles and finally hit singles, so 2 men on, 2 outs, and Alex Gordon comes up and takes a weak little swing on the first pitch he gets, and hits a stupid little grounder right at the pitcher. At least take a full swing at it

    Franceur thinks it's his pitch every pitch. Moustakis is awful. But still hoping they get 4 or more off Blanton tonight.

    Let's not forget LAA's offense has been heating up recently though. If Blanton gives up 5 or less LAA might still win.

    I'd say the Angels are worse given their expectations. Santana can be a rollercoaster but Blanton is pretty much always terrible. GL w/ your bets.

    The Angels got in to KC in the middle of the night after leaving Anaheim probably around 9-10 PM ... might be a factor.

    I'm backing Santana tonight ... Blanton is awful

    Haven't you ever heard the term don't bet on every game? There's simply some games you should never bet on.. this is one of them.

    Blanton is NC's second favorite pitcher next to Worley. Ask him for real insights.

    Blanton is just what the Royals bats need to snap outta their funk. Angels are hot. I love this over, but how much will the weather be a factor? Is it enough to pass on over 8.5?

    Angels have been a terrible hitting team 90% of this season going against 2.xx ERA and Royals cant hit. Total isnt "easy"

    Perez is back in the lineup tonight for the Royals, which helps for sure.

    I wouldn't touch this game. Save your money for tomorrow. I see a lot of good plays that could hit. Just when you think the Angel have made a turn they break your heart and the Royals are..............well the Royals

    If I had to bet this game I'd take probably take the UNDER 8.5. There haven't been more than 7 runs scored in any of Santana's starts so far this year, and the Royals are 0-3 in Santana's last 3 starts which makes argument against playing KC on the ML.

    Blanton is fatter than Worley, but other than that, they're pretty much the same guy.

    Nice start by Vance yesterday BTW, Two. And you wonder why I trash him.

    Blanton is a stud, that's why you backed him.

    Well the Angels win by 1 run and it goes Over the posted total.

    That's as close as it gets!
