Kevin's Pick(s):
Kyle and I each have a pick for tonight's game 3...
2 UNIT = Kansas City Royals @ San Francisco Giants - ROYALS TO WIN (+120)
Listed Pitchers: Guthrie vs Hudson
(Note: I'm risking 2.00 units to win 2.40 units)
Kyle's Pick(s)
2 UNIT = Kansas City Royals @ San Francisco Giants - OVER 7 RUNS (-103)
Listed Pitchers: Guthrie vs. Hudson
(Note: I'm risking 2.00 units to win 1.94 units)
A positive start to the World Series after the Giants easily beat the Royals in game 1. It was the complete opposite in game 2, as the Royals rolled over the Giants to tie things up. I look for a 2-0 start to the World Series with a winning pick tonight.
The series shifts to San Francisco Friday night with a lot to still be decided in this one. After the first two games you can often get a feel for the direction it is going to go, but in this case, one can make a solid case for both teams to win it all. The slight edge goes to the Giants considering as it stands now they have home field advantage after taking one in Kansas City. The pitching matchup tonight of Guthrie and Hudson doesn't get me all that excited. I find it difficult to back either. As a result, I'm taking a look at the total tonight. I have a feeling one gets hammered, similar to the first two games, or both pitchers suffer. In either scenario I think the total will get OVER 7 runs. Tim Hudson hasn't been in a consistent groove in quite awhile. He finished the regular season up pitching a 10.97 ERA with a 2.16 WHIP in his last three. His last postseason start against the Cards wasn't a walk in the park, getting hit for 4 runs and 7 hits over 6 innings. In half of his last 10 starts, Hudson gave up 4 or more runs. He was solid the first-half of the season, but fell apart in the second-half. Hudson had an ERA of 8.72 with a 1.85 WHIP in September. Jeremy Guthrie has been quite strong in that respect, a 2.40 ERA in the last month. However, he has a career 6.14 ERA against them and 1.98 WHIP. The first start of his career in the postseason came against the Orioles, a fine start, but he has never been on this stage before in his career. There should be enough runs here for it go to go OVER 7.
Cheers,
