Re: Week 1 MLB action
Adding:
980 - KC (+205) vs NYY ( 1 unit)
Cant resist the huge home dog in this situation. It is my opinion that CC Sabathia is in for one of the most difficult months of his carreer. Ridden hard and put away wet last season, he will not be right for a while, and if the Yankees keep pushing (and he will push himself too) to get emmediate returns on thier investment, they may just have to endure more than a handful of dissapointing starts. Injuries (in the physical and/or mental) happen to human beings when overworked, and CC is human no matter how many zeros are on his paycheck.
KCs offense still not looking like it did in Spring, but yesturday was the first day in thier revamped digs and they faced a rejuvenated Andy Pettitte. I think that if he stays healthy, Andy will have an above average year. Yesturdays performance was a small preview of what he might bring a majority of the time. Horacio Ramirez is certainly a crap shoot but the Yankees bats are still not all that impressive. The fact that they couldnt bust the game open yesturday, against Ponson, is not a sign that they are about to begin a slugging streak in the emmediate future.
All speculation on my part, thats for sure. But this is the main reasons I think +205 is worthy of taking the risk.
