what's up with zito?

[pepin46]

i have a bad feeling we are being taken for a ride on this one.

it looks to me like this is going to be extremely lob-sided betting against zito.

any inside thoughts on this?

Ahhhh dammit...

here's one statistic I wasn't awared of and it's probably one of the good reasons why the line is so inflated:

Left-h batters have hit for .331 against Kris Wilson so far this season and their slg% is .589... and you have plenty of left-h batters in Oakland.. anyway I still like KC +185.

Nick Douglas brought up a good point last week. I've noticed a lot of inflated favorites where it looks like you are getting value with the dog but they end up losing. This has been happening a lot recently. I don't think KC has won a game on the road against a lefty and people have already pointed out Wilson's stats against LH hitters. Also the umpire, Wolf, may be a factor. Home fav's over -125 are 8-0 this year. I may take Oakland in a parlay. Would not touch KC.

strange game indeed, guys. it all boiled down to relievers and a funny-looking eight inning.
