MLB Betting Lines – Free Picks: Royals-A's Under is 13-3-1 Last 17 Meetings
We got a bit of a reprieve yesterday following the debacle over the previous few days that ended our 14-3 run. Let’s see if we can completely turn things around.
Our free pick appears below today’s pitching and team trends.
Pitchers
Philadelphia’s AJ Burnett is 10-4 when starting against WASHINGTON with an ERA of 3.27 and a WHIP of 1.189.
Cincinnati's Homer Bailey is 2-1 when starting against Miami with an ERA of 2.68 and a WHIP of 1.017. His team is 2-0 vs. Miami so far this season.
Jake Peavy is 6-2 when starting against the New York Mets with an ERA of 3.28 and a WHIP of 1.253.
Ervin Santana is 2-0 when starting against SAN DIEGO with an ERA of 1.35 and a WHIP of 0.950.
Ian Kennedy is 2-0 when starting against ATLANTA with an ERA of 3.79 and a WHIP of 1.430.
Oakland's Jon Lester is 7-3 when starting against Kansas City with an ERA of 1.43 and a WHIP of 0.996 while Jason Vargas of Kansas City is 5-6 when starting against Oakland with an ERA of 3.43 and a WHIP of 1.067. The UNDER is 9-0 when Lester starts against KC.
Baltimore’s Miguel Gonzalez is 0-0 when starting against SEATTLE with an ERA of 1.50 and a WHIP of 1.667.
Teams
San Francisco is 4-0 vs. the Mets this season.
The UNDER is 9-0 when Oakland’s Jon Lester starts against Kansas City.
The UNDER is 5-1 in the Seattle/Baltimore series this season.
Free Pick
Today we are on the UNDER 7 Kansas City/Oakland.
The UNDER is 13-3-1 in the last 17 meetings and 12-5 in Kansas City’s last 17 overall.
The Athletics LH Jon Lester (10-7, 2.52) is 7-3 when starting against Kansas City with an ERA of 1.43 and a WHIP of 0.996. The UNDER is 9-0 when Lester starts against Kansas City. Lester is making his debut with the A’s following a trade from Boston this past week.
The Royals LH Jason Vargas (8-4, 3.31 ERA) is 3.28 ERA in 18 career games (16 starts) against Oakland. He has allowed two or fewer runs in seven of nine starts prior to suffering an appendectomy that has left him sidelined for three weeks. He returns this afternoon.
Despite a few unknowns (how will Lester adjust to his new club and will Vargas be 100 percent healthy), this does look like a good play otherwise.
