MLB Thursday

Kansas City Royals are playing at Jacob, no it's Progressive Field, sending Zack Greinke, 8-2 with 1.55 ERA. This righty stud has completed 87 innings with a stingy WHIP 0.97 his last game 6/05 @TOR was a rare non-quality start after stringing 9 consecutive quality games and first game to give up 2 HR's, matter of fact he had not given any homer up to that point, all in all a off game. Majority will agree he should be back on his game today. On the flip side home town Cleveland Indians with Jeremy Sowers, 1-3 in 25 innings 5.40 ERA that's 5 tries the lone win comes as a relief appearance 5/25 against Tampa, but he did throw quality last time 6/06 @ CHW in a losing game. Obviously KC will have the pitching advantage, but Sowers improvements are under estimated compared to Zack's success not always getting wins, 1-3 last 4 & 2-4 last 6. Zack's strength is also at home and his schedule has missed most road games so far. Royals themselves are 10-18 away. Since the start of this road trip 6/02 Royals have played 8 games and won 2. I'll look for another hard luck game for Zack and the Royals.

CLEVELAND INDIANS +122 for 1 unit(W)

Yeah Baby! Talk about hard luck Royals. The ball flattened a low-flying gull in the 10th inning and rolled past Kansas City's center fielder and Mark DeRosa scored from second base to give the Cleveland Indians a 4-3 win over the Royals on Thursday night.

1-0 +1.22 units
