    Devil Rays Big Favorites Again Monday?

    I have bet Kansas City the first three games of this series just on principle alone. Even with their win yesterday, the Rays are still under .500 as a favorite this year at 7-8, -3.65 units. Meanwhile, Kansas City has been a good investment on the road, going 12-15 for a +3.83.

    Lets see if Gil Meche can bounce back from that terrible performance his last outing. Shields is pretty good himself for Tampa.

    I haven't capped anything yet for today, but this one on the surface looks to be a pass.

    Good luck LT.

    Looker,

    Didn't Meche toss a gem vs. Baltimore in his last start?

    I know that Shields has pitched pretty decent this year, but I was surprised to see the D'rays line -160 in this game. I did find some value with KC and took my chances with them plus this generous price.

    fyi, i just put my bet down KC ML +135.

    i also bet on a prop that tampa bay will score first +105

    1 unit on each. unless KC scores first then lose the game, i should win at least one of the two bets

    I don't think people realize just how good Shields is. The line is totally legitimate.

    Looks like this line was low the way it's being played right now. Shields is cruising right along now, and has only made 81 pitches thru 7 innings of work.

    I like how the coach for TB does it
    new guy pitches gives up a hit, gets pulled next in line.
    better than some guys sitting and watching the lead dwindle away while he gives some asswhipe a shot to pitch.

    Horrible Defense really is helping the Royals Win. You walk a guy to get to lefty left pop him up a mile high on the infield, and the ball drops without hitting a glove.

    Very Nice

    I agree with you Razz about Shields, but this was also a really high line. Meche has been good too, and TB is not a winning team, with a vulnerable pen. I think the line was about right, I don't think there was any value with TB in this one.

    Your right LT, I was thinking of two starts ago against the M's. Where he gave up 7 earned runs.
