Is Arizona the easiest bet today?

[boeing power]

Arizona is the better team

Kennedy is a stud especially on the road

Francis is a bum

public hammering zona

and Zona is only -114


KC ROYALS +107 for me

[face]

line is puzzling

[dudekid]

im on royals as well...BOL

[lunchbawks]

FF o4 -115 looks tempting.

im on zona, they get it done

[BigDofBA]

The first poster has the right idea. I've lost playing 4 favorites in a row. I'm taking KC as the dog.

[Lord and Master]

Arizona is the better team

and the books have made them a pretty big favorite considering they're on the road

and Zona is only -114

ONLY -114 on the road? are you kidding me? Thats quite the line for two teams neither of which are among the best or worst in the league. And your perception of this being described as "only -114" is why home dogs in baseball are such a good bet

Arizona is tied for the 7th best record in MLB.

KC is 4th last in all of mlb

you have no idea what you're talking about, move along

Francis is 0-5 with an 8.53 ERA in his last six starts against the Diamondbacks and coming off one of his worst outings of the season after giving up 6 runs and 9 hits in 3 1/3 innings. He is also 2-2 with a 6.07 ERA in his last five starts.

Upton is 5 for 12 (.417) with two homers in his career against Jeff Francis.

I see AZ getting 5 runs off of francis before he gets knocked out in the 6th and another 3 runs from the pen.

Kennedy should be able to hold KC to 3 runs max and AZ gets the win 8-3.

[boeing power]

this line should be -135 for Zona, so either the books made a huge mistake or they think KC wins

I will take my chances wth KC

[RockyMiavia]

Yeah Francis is a joke man. That dude can't pitch and I don't know why he is still in the rotation. Dude gives up runs and gives it up in bunches man.

[RockyMiavia]

I got 1 unit on Arizona and on the Over. GL all.

[LGHT]

Not sure about lines much as I don't follow them. I just try and go with the team I feel has the best chance of winning statistically and based on the stats against Francis it's hard to go with a pitcher that is pretty much on his way down to AAA.

[Boxing Champ]

He used to be dominant with the Rockies...I don't know what happened to'em..
I don't think he wants to play for KC

[face]

i agree with both lght and boeing power. i have arizona diamondbacks and will watch kc somehow win i guess, and lose money.

[LGHT]

hahah it always seems to happen that way I mean look at SD about to win 2 in a row IN Bos with a 5-0 lead. I think they where -208 by the time the game started.

[og4667]

Backs have been playing great not going against them. They have edge in pitching and overall. Still not a fan of road favs but dbacks should get it done

[bostonbruins]

Over 8 at even money looks good

[TwoWays]

Public on Arizona yesterday too. What happened yesterday?

[jay777]

Arz 5 in-122

[Jackie Moon]

Dbacks easy!! Royals bats are bad and struggling

[Whippit]

Francis isn't that bad, plus he's a lefty

decent chance somebody picks him up at the trade deadline

[LGHT]

Francis has a 6.07 ERA in his last five starts if that aint bad what is??

[a4u2fear]

Arizona...cash it.

[HoulihansTX]

Arizona is tied for the 7th best record in MLB. KC is 4th last in all of mlb you have no idea what you're talking about, move along

[Whippit]

Francis has a 6.07 ERA in his last five starts if that aint bad what is??

he won 3 of his last 6 starts

either way he's got 8 yrs in the majors, so what's there to say about a handful of starts

KC has the 11th best offense in the league only .22 OPS behind arizona. Francis and Kennedy are only half a point difference in xFIP. why do I even bother arguing with someone who's trying to tell me about team records i don't know

[jds07v]

I'm riding with Kennedy today. 1 Unit play

[HoulihansTX]

KC has the 11th best offense in the league only .22 OPS behind arizona. Francis and Kennedy are only half a point difference in xFIP. why do I even bother arguing with someone who's trying to tell me about team records i don't know

Dude he said that he is taking the Royals.

[rochestertitans]

its on streak for cash to.. trap

[gryfyn1]

KC has the 11th best offense in the league only .22 OPS behind arizona. Francis and Kennedy are only half a point difference in xFIP. why do I even bother arguing with someone who's trying to tell me about team records i don't know

but these teams are going in vastly different directions..

Over the last 28 days Arizona has a 796 OPS vs KCs 704, despite the fact for the season their OPS+ are same.

And While a "half point" in xFip is a big difference again francis is is going the wrong way,posting monthly xFips of 3.47/3.95/5.06 vs Kennedy's 3.39/3.85/3.25.

u tell us

[LGHT]

he won 3 of his last 6 starts

either way he's got 8 yrs in the majors, so what's there to say about a handful of starts

You need to dig a bit deeper and understand that wins are not always equal. If you look at who he beat you will realize that he beat the Angels twice in those 3 wins and we all know (I hope) how bad the angels are. I mean come on FL just beat them. His other win was against SL more than a month ago although he did pitch well.

So your logic of he won 3 of 6 carries little to no weight and the fact that he has 8 years in the league means nothing if he sux a$$ now.

You need to understand that your betting on him NOW a game he played 8 years ago so it doesn't matter if he had a 1.58 era 8 years ago if he has over 6.00 era NOW

aren't we lucky then that using prior month's performance is a poor sole predictor of future results. I don't know how much the line shifts if you plugged in that performance vs an assumed performance of full season averages. Do you have an idea?

As for Francis' month of June, would you argue that his 3 starts should be indicative of anything? his K/9 rate was half his season avg and his BB/9 2.70 in those starts

[cankid]

He used to be dominant with the Rockies...I don't know what happened to'em..

injuries

[boeing power]

my point is that francis is bad, kennedy is a stud

Zona is the better team

the line should be at least -130

yet the line is moving the other way with public pounding zona

Zona looks like easy money

we all know how that usually ends

SQUARES are on zona

1 Unit on KC Royals +107

not guaranteeing anything but I like my chances
