2008-07-22 - Detroit Tigers at Kansas City Royals
A Sports Betting Pick by Jim Feist
Pitchers : K. Rogers (7-6, 4.62), K. Davies (3-1, 4.59)
Tuesday 22nd July 2008 - Starts 8:10 ET
Neither of today's starters has been dazzling this year. Stretches where they have performed ok and then stretches of bad.
Kenny Rogers won his last start at Baltimore, despite allowing 11 hits and four earned runs in six innings of work. He's walked more batters on the season than he's struck out, which is never a good sign.
On the road, Rogers is 4-4 with a 4.86 era. Moreover, in his two starts this year against the Royals, he's allowed 16 hits and nine earned runs in just 10 innings of work.
Kyle Davies hasn't faired much better for the Royals. The Royals are just 2-4 in games at home where Davies starts.
And, while Davies has a better strike out to walk ratio than Rogers, it isn't by much (20 walks to 25 strikeouts).
We don't expect either pitcher to last that long here and therefore we'll go with the OVER on Tuesday.
The Pick :
Take Over the 10 run total.
