Dickey is not a bad play

everything else is just a guess

Kluber's frustrated Detroit before. It wouldn't be the first time.

I respect Benjy Lee Eckstein, and he's in love with Guthrie and the KC Royals tonight for some reason, and I can not figure out why?

Guthrie owns the Twinks.

Not in KC he doesn't, His start there have been a mixed bag since he joined KC.

to hit a knuckler out of a park, you need some good pop at large fields like citi and safeco. thats the reason he's been getting lit up at the rogers centre. dickey is going to have a good outing today but iwakuma will be better. tight ballgame here

Iwakuma not the same pitcher as he was at start of year. Missing down and in too much and over correcting. He has lost 1.5 mph velocity and the Jays as a team hit the split finger quite well.
Seattle has been loading 7-8 left handed batters for the last several weeks. Same tonight. Dickey has some unfavourable matchups tonight.

Warm dry weather tonight in Seattle. Unusual.

Guthrie has looked good in his last couple of starts. The problem is that he looked bad in the other ones. Can't pull the trigger on the Royals, no matter how bad Correia has looked lately. In the same breath, I can't pull the trigger on the over, just in case Guthrie does well again.

I'm on the mariners -1.5 +163 myself.

ECKS & BACON….feel the sizzle!!!

Welcome to "Ecks & Bacon" for July 30, 2013...
Ecks & Bacon is going fishing this week. Well not really. We're gonna roll up the coast of Northern California, specifically the Big Sur, and take a little break before the madness of football starts. As for the golf action, Dustin Johnson was tied for the lead on Sunday at the Canadian Open, but blew up on the 17th hole with a triple bogey. Yuck. That left all my golfers (Bubba Watson, Jim Furyk, Graham DeLaet and David Hearn) out of the money. The group cost me $70 bucks, and after pressing the proper buttons, the calculator says that +$1755 is the current figure.
And don't worry, we ARE keeping track of our "leans," with the record sitting at 28 leans, 20 wins, and tonight, we're standing tall, no leans.
Email me, ben@americasline.com, or tweet me, @vegasvigorish, and I'll answer any questions you might have...
And if I don't have the answer, I'll ask Siegfried & Roy...
THX for stopping by, and PLZ check back soon...
