Royals @ Twins 1:10 eastern time start.

[pat venditto]

Let the capping begin. What do you like and why?

[EaglesPhan36]

OVER because Duckworth and OVERS go hand-in-hand like strippers & $5 blow jobs.

[JerseyShop101]

I like the over 8.5 as well.

Duckworth has been absolutely terrible, having given up 11 runs, 19 hits, and 10 walks, in the only 15 innings he's pitched, That coupled with Minnesota being a much better hitting team at home, batting a 5th best .291 at home.

Liriano is a very good pitcher, but he has given up 7 runs to KC in 13 innings pitched, ERA of 4.72.

Over is 7-1-1 in MIN last 9 overall.
Over is 7-3-1 in MIN last 11 home games.

I see this game hitting 10 runs, Minn 7-3.

hahah ..Eages

[bmw530i]

I have a sick feeling KC pulls this one out...and I like the over

[darrell74]

Twinkie run line -1 1/2
Why?
All 5 wins by Liriano have covered the run line.
Twinkies score 7 in last 2 games, each
Duckworth is 2-1 for the Royals, because the Royals score a shitload of runs in the two victories against the Tigers crappy pitching. His 1 loss was against the Indians, getting yanked after 4. Has control problems, Twins should walk, alot.
Dude, I went heavy on the run line, Liriano's 5 wins:
9/5 W 10-2 Det
8/20 W 3-1 Oak
8/15 W 9-3 Sea
8/9 W 7-3 KC
8/3 W 6-2 Cle
The only way the run line doesn't cover is its a slugfest in the eighth inning if Liriano gets pulled, and the Royals can get a 7 run eighth, or whatever.

very good info thanks darrel

Nice I was on the twins RL also. Glad to see some more stats to back my choice!

[darrell74]

Thanks guys, for the compliments.
Lets win some $

Yesterday scored 8 runs.
Twins, previous 9 games have scored 9 or more runs.
I may lean on the over.

[RogueScholar]

The last 10 games the Royals have been batting .345 as a team against lefties, I don't think Liriano emerges from this start smelling like a rose. In fact, with the Royals at +300, I even think there's some value there. But my play is the Over 8' on this one, probably ending up 5-4 so I'm not keen on the RL.

[Brock Landers]

Anything you've seen of Liriano earlier this year, and his only home loss, were before he went to the minors and figured it out. Would be shocking if Minnesota lost today at home given whats at stake.

[darrell74]

Well Rogue, why can't KC get home, 10 runs last 5 games is not exactly knocking the ball around the park.

[fifawcs]

KC is where the value is at. Liriano's past success versus the Royals don't have much of a bearing on today's results. All I know is you are getting a club who hits lefties extremely well and has a decent pen versus a home team that is on the decline.

[RogueScholar]

Darrell,

I agree that batting well does not equal scoring well, but your sample size is half what mine was. Over 10 games, the Royals are scoring 6.7 runs on average against lefties.

[darrell74]

Have you seen the injury report for the Royals, theirs a ton a of guys not playing.
Twinkies are at home and their getting their stuff back. That roadie is over, and now they 're playing good Twinkie baseball.

[ryanXL977]

twins are one game out, with a top 3 al starter, at home, vs a bottom 3 al team and an awful starter

twins win, by more than 2

[pat venditto]

I'm on Royals +1 1/2 +120.

[Kingctb27]

Twins will win and the over looks nice. too bad carib is down so no bet for me.

Dude! I thought that was just my computer, f-ing up. I wanted to squeeze in a small play on the over. Got the run line over a nhour ago. Weird!!!
I may make a phone call.

[JerseyShop101]

Lets get the OVER done in the early innings!!!!!!!!!!

[bmw530i]

Nice Morneau....

[darrell74]

That over don't look too hot. That strike zone is HUGE!

[baazigar]

it's coming...

[darrell74]

I do hope the over covers, for all of you guys.
Strike zone is big.

[bmw530i]

Baaaz....lets get this...

[bmw530i]

Crrrrack....lets get this

[darrell74]

See, strike zone is huge. Thats the only way the Royals stay in this game, is a huge strike zone. Duckworth has lousy control. But if the umoire calls the batterbox line, a strike, Royal baclers have a chance.

[baazigar]

6 more to go beamaaa

[bradleysnyder]

See

screw that d74

[bmw530i]

Gomez gets caught stealin we would have had another...but seems they are teein off on him..
