Again, this is pretty early, but I've been putting this up early for all of Greinke's starts, so what the hell.

We must score some runs tonight, because Zack Greinke simply can not be permitted to get his first loss to the White Sox. Any other team but them.

Party day at the K

$5 tix today. Come on out.....

I am calling it now. Grienke Plunks a whitesox and gets thrown out

Betting line:

Royals opened at -165. Currently -180.

Skip Bayless doesn't know what hes talkin about.

Hot damn. For baseball between teams with a similar record, thats incredible. As much as I like Greinke, I'm not betting the Royals with that line.

Yep. That's a huge line.

Says a lot about the national perception with Greinke on the hill.

screw the money line.... what is the spread

Too early to predict a no-no?

I dont think they do spreads in baseball, its all money lines in this sport.

never bet baseball before...

so, If I bet $100... how much would I win, if the Royals win?

Royals currently at -1.5 according to betcris.com

There is a spread for everything hoss.
