just wondering what made you grab KC.

I am on Seattle and thought that - in a matchup like this between relatively comparable teams (with nearly identical records overall but the edge to seattle in that they hold a better record [against tougher opponents to boot] in their last 10)- the seemingly more stable pitcher [Madritsch 2.63 ERA] would be the play. Any thoughts you'd be willing to share?

Thanks

M's are just horrible on the road, DMay at this time IS a better major league pitcher than Madritsch (who really was a minorleague drifter bef. Mariner scouts identified some skills with him). His 2.63 era still too small a sample to consider with only 2 games under his belt. I thought for sure KC wouldve been a -120 fav at least.

 

[jaypaw]

actually 6 games

2 starts (tampa and minnesota [arguably both better teams than KC])

He allowed 1 run over 8 innings in his first start. In his second start he allowed 3 runs over 7 innings. Not a bad record starting out...

True not tested very much but you must admit that 2 walks and a 2.63 ERA over 24 innings is an impressive start.

Not to beat to death what may be a lost cause - but his 4 innings AT Anaheim was pretty impressive as well

4 shutout innings facing anderson, guerrero, and salmon in his 3rd major league game

To tell you the truth, i hope both of these bunch of bums lose, the bookies burn us for both our bets, and Madritsch gets shipped back to Walla Walla tomorrow morning. How's that for accurate analysis?
