Rudy NYC Sports Plays of the Day - 7/16/2010 (79-57 +34.43u) [B][U]For Friday Night:[/U] 975 Friday, 7/16/2010 [U]Oakland Athletics/Kansas City Royals Over 7.5[/U] 3 units 8:10pm EST @ Kansas City Royals We do not concern ourselves too much with the perceived sharpness of both starters, Gio Gonzalez for Oakland and Zack Greinke for Kansas City, when the books set a total too low, in this case at 7.5. That is the correct number if this game were to be played in Oakland. But this game is being played in KC where the Royals are batting .294 and average 4.77 runs per game (the A's score 3.83 runs per game on the road). In the three games these two teams have played in Kauffman Stadium this year, 40 runs have been scored in three games. Now let's tear apart the pitching: Both pitchers are 6-3-1 to the OVER last ten games each! Greinke, who really has had only 3 or 4 quality starts in his last ten, missed his last start Sunday because of a sore shoulder. Hence, he will throw with nine days rest; someone is on to something with Zack, you think? Gio is actually pitching better than Greinke but he was hit in his only two starts against the Royals. These two teams have gone OVER 8 of the last 10 head-to-head including 5 of the last 6 OVER in KC. The way these two can put up runs in bunches, we see another OVER tonight. GL RUDY[/B]
