    KC Royals (Santana) -107 over Cleveland Indians (Jimmenez)

    I like the way KC matches up tonight against Cleveland.

    First the starters.
    Santana is having a better season across the board (except K's) than Jimmenz.
    Santana's ERA is a nice 3.33 the WH/IP ratio is nicer at 1.17
    Don't know what happened his last start against Seattle where he didn't make it to the fifth inning, but I am throwing it out.

    Indians always have had trouble against Santana.

    Totals 212 43 13 1 3 22 19 47 .203 .278 .316 .594


    Jimmenez has lofty strike out numbers, but he's been a pedestrian like pitcher at best all season

    3.79 ERA is pretty much average, 1.40 WH/IP is a little high.
    He was sharp his last time out against Baltimore, that was coming off back to back losses to the Twins and Braves.

    Here's the thing why I like KC in this spot tonight.
    Jimmenez walks way too many batters, more than one every two innings.
    KC has dangerous stick in the middle of the order, and Hosmer owns Jimmenz at 6/19 .316 2 homers 5 RBI and Butler is also 6/19 .316 and 1 homer.
    Bonifacio is the 2 hole tonight is hitting over .300 in the past seven games, and Sal Perez who has been raking all season has been hot as well.

    KC is 14-3 in their last 17 as a road fave, a stat I just can not ignore, and are over a .500 team on the road.

    I'll gladly take KC with the better starter and the hot sticks in this spot play I really like

    KC -107 goes for 3*

    These are the spots I look for. Jimmenz has one of those two walk innings, Royals have 3 or 4 guys that can make it a 3 run inning in a finger snap.
    Factor in Tribe gets frustrated by Santana, how can you not like KC

    Funny, I was capping this game hard last night. Like You Mad said, the lack of #'s off of Jimenez made it a pass for me. Went with the Angels -1.5 and -.5 FF instead. Gave my brain the day off and enjoying the U.S. Open and MNF games. Been treading water in September 5-5-1 +0.42u though so what do I know?

    Two schizo pitchers. I'm never on the right side of a Ubaldo game. Line indicates it's a tossup.

    Good luck nasher.

    Take the Tribe. Jimenez is pitching well. Santana has regressed.

    I'm on the Tribe. Santana is due for a beatdown. He's always been erratic and this is a perfect position for him to get spanked. His last several outings have been mediocre to bad, and I don't see him reversing that trend this evening.

    Jimenez has been more effective of late and though he too can be erratic, I'm expecting a strong outing. Ubaldo seems to have found his command with just 5 BBs in the last 19 IP. Cleveland adds to its 44-28 home record tonight.

    It's the only thing I did right, they weren't beating Tillman tonight.

    I talked myself out of Sale too, not a good night, White Sox had a big first inning.
