I think it's a decent bet. You have Greinke, who has given us no reason to doubt him through the spring and his first start, against a guy on the Jays who had his spot skipped the first time through the rotation... telling you what they think of him. The Royals problem is that they haven't been hitting, and that's worrisome against any pitcher, but look at the pitchers they have faced, as well... not exactly a bunch of scrubs, and I'd put who we've faced against the opponents of any team in the league, so far.
But the Royals have hit well against the guy they are facing tonight.
For a baseball bet, which is a fluky thing to begin with, this one isn't one of the worst...
