Nobody else is probably watching baseball this time of year but me, but KC is putting on a defensive show.
I have not seen them miss a tough play all playoffs. Every ball hit that looks like a hit, they catch. Amazing. A tough team to have a wager against today!
Good little run in the playoffs as the Giants finished off my Birds. 3-0 so far.
Tuesday--
Game 1 WS--
OVER 6.5 (+105)----Contrarian play here. Everybody is thinking ace-ace under automatically. Going opposite. I can easily see a 4-3 game here with a few nerves from both sides. Good value at + money.
On a side note, I cannot stand Fox's TV broadcasts of baseball. It's fun to see how the
defense is positioned and moving, but Fox for long periods of time will show only the
pitcher and home plate....and then extreme close ups of fans or bench players.
Just like football there is a lot going on in the field and it would be nice to see it.
I feel a sweep can happen. Don't know by who, but I bet series in 4 games +650. If KC get's it's bubble burst by losing a game late, by their bullpen, they might not recover. If KC continues it's magic in game 1, and their bullpen is shutdown again, and they beat the unbeatable Baumgartner, SF might not recover.
Royals -116 over SF...Obvious play but I think the rigth side to be on. Need some of that royal magic that wasn't there on tuesday. should come easier against Peavey rather than Bumgardner.
I'd lean Royals over Giants tonight as well. Peavy has not pitched well in KC in his career, overall he's 5-7, ERA of 4.97 in 14 career starts against the Royals. Butler, Gordon and Escobar see beach balls when Peavy is on the mound, each hitting near .400 against Jake. Even more important in my mind, NO SF GIANT batter has EVER faced Yordano Ventura in a regular season game. That advantage alone should get him through the Giants lineup twice without too much damage if he doesn't get the rookie world series jitters and suffers control problems. Royals only need six strong innings from Ventura and then the bullpen can close out game two.
