Because it will win the game tonight on the road on ESPN2.

Cleveland
+205
to beat Boston

Both pitchers stink. Both teams are hitting well. But Cleveland has played Boston very tough this year and could easily have won the four game series last week. This is the ultimate toss up game. How Kim can be a 2/1 favorite is beyond me. Lots of value in Cleveland

Cmon Onaj, I wouldn't say Kim stinks. D'Amico's the one who's been getting piledriven.

Wasn't Kim just activated anyways?? The guy's only thrown about 10 innings. Hell last week he threw like 5 or 6 innings of shutout ball giving up only one hit. I saw him pitch and he looked solid.

I'm going the other way on this one but good luck! :)

No need for you to say it. I'll say it for you. Kim stinks. The guy has the most fragile psyche in the Majors right now. He has had one good start this year and one bad. He is so capable of imploding and letting his own fans get to him that he is not worth anything close to a 2 to 1 risk. Especially with the way the Indians are hitting the ball right now

I'm with the lady on this one Onaj :shrug:

Byung-Hyun Kim ERA

2001 - 2.94
2002 - 2.04
2003 - 3.31
2004 - only 2 starts, last start at Fenway he was lights out giving up 1 hit

Those are EXCELLENT numbers for over 200 appearances. The guys' been hurt and he's trying to get his rythym back. How can you say his psyche is the most fragile in babseball after 2 starts!!??? lol Not sure if I understand that one.

Good luck with that D'Amico pick man but I'm with Dodgergirl on this one.

Manson for starters, he's not a starter. Those numbers are mainly relief numbers. As for him being hurt and trying to get his rhythm back wouldn't that mean that he isn't worth a 2/1 risk in his current form? Kim has not been the same pitcher since his debacle in Yankee Stadium. He has yet to settle in the role of starter, set up, or closer and he doesn't keep his composure enough when things go wrong.

Bad Angel you are right eventually this game will come down to the pens. Hope Cle pen can at least give Tribe a chance

Beware of Dog!
The Indians strike and
yes Kim still stinks.
Here is a game that I am going to be betting heavy on Tuesday

Detroit and Oakland under the 9
Tigers will see what a real pitching staff looks like after playing in Texas and Anaheim for the last week. Neither staff compares. As long as Johnson doesn't get hit too hard this one is well under 9
