Hey Ray, congrats on the recent hot streak.
Royals lineup looks very inept right now but watch out here because Suppan has been lights out lately and Mulder really struggled bad last time out Sunday against KC. KC bullpen also has pitched well overall recently while the A's pen hasn't. I am not saying I will take KC and I will probably pass, but I am just leery of laying big chalk in this situation.
One thing is that KC is just pitiful against lefties normally (last time out vs. Mulder the exception, not the rule). The two times before that Jamie Moyer & Jimmy Anderson each pitched 8 innings of shutout ball. Perez is a good hitter from the right side so maybe his addition will change things. I dunno, just seems risky given the pitching situation for both teams lately, that's all.
