My Baseball Best Bet for Saturday 6/7/2008 was:
| 1:05 PM ET MLB Kansas City Royals (Bannister) at New York Yankees (Pettitte) |
| Best Bet: New York Yankees (listed pitchers) -185 |
 The Yankees dropped the series opener last night, 2-1. Don’t expect lightning to strike two nights in a row for the Royals. The Yankees are still 8-2 at home vs. KC since ‘06 and KC is still just 12-21 on the road this season. Kansas City is 2-12 this season vs. a starting pitcher who averages less than 1.75 BB’s/start (average score: KC 2.6, Opponents 4.8).
KC’s Brian Bannister owns a hefty 8.44 ERA and 1.613 WHIP on the road this season (KC is 1-4). Opponents have batted a whopping .316 at home vs. Bannister and he owns a bulging 8.10 ERA and 1.900 WHIP in 2 career starts vs. the Yankees — and they were both at home! That should mean big trouble in his first start at Yankee Stadium against a Yankees lineup that is batting .329 with a .384 OBP in their last 7 games prior to last night. NY’s Andy Pettitte has been mediocre this season, but he seems to be rounding into form. In his last 3 outings, Pettitte has gone 19 2/3 innings, walking just one batter while striking out 14. Pettitte is 8-3 (team is 10-4) with a 3.37 ERA vs. KC since ‘97. His success should continue considering KC hits just .246 on the road (3.7 RPG) and .249 vs. lefty starters (3.5 RPG). Since 1997, Pettitte is 30-6 (Team’s Record) as a home favorite of -175 to -200 (average score: Pettitte 6.6, Opponents 3.3).Take the Yankees and Pettitte over KC and Bannister. |
