An Under for Wednesday

First the re-cap. Got a push last night with the over in the Astros/Pirates. Makes me 1-0-1 for the week.

For Wednesday, I like the under 8 runs in the Kansas City Royals - Detroit Tigers game.

First of all the Royals start Zack Greinke. He leads the AL in ERA (2.00) and in WHIP (1.05). On the road this year his ERA is 2.17. Against the Tigers this year he is 2-0 with a 0.50 ERA with a .153 batting average against. In fact, for his career, he is 9-4 against the Tigers with a 2.84 ERA and a 1.141 WHIP. Over the past 3 years at Comerica park, he is 3-1 with a 2.41 ERA and a .225 batting average against. The Tigers, who are batting a weak .226 over the past 7 days, and who bat only .257 against right handed pitching will continue to struggle against Grienke.

Meanwhile the Tigers start 6 ft. 4 inch lefty Luke French. He is making his 2nd major league start. So far his ERA is 2.35 and his batting average against is .207. This big tall lefty can pitch. In the minors he was 4-4 with a 2.98 ERA, a 1.11 WHIP and a .237 batting average against. In his last 3 minor league starts before recently being called up, he pitched 23 innings, allowing only 16 hits and 3 walks, with 26 strikeouts. The Royals are 11-18 to the under this year when facing a lefty.

Today's pick is K.C.-DET Under 8 (+100)
