playing under the 7.5 with liriano and braden. i am just not buying this recent offensive surge by minnesota as legit. the regression is coming, and this looks like a afternoon matchup to play a little truer to form - 4-2 or 4-3. also playing kansas city with the pick line against cleveland. pitching heavily favors the royals here. royals arent playing with their 4 and 5 guys in the rotation. but meche at this price is something im definitely grabbing a piece of.
thanks. im not particularly convinced that liriano is all the way back and ready to lead this team into the playoffs. but he was at least good enough to shut down a punchless oakland offense. he really didnt have any easy innings, which was a bit surprising. twins pen was lights out though. nathan basically makes it an 8-inning game.
