Written by: Andrew McLean, The Reserve Clause
Well, Josh is still on vacation touring his Top 10 Lighthouses of the East Coast, so it's my turn to take a crack at this whole degenerate betting column he has going.
Before I hit you with my pick, let me preface this by saying I don't bet. Never have and never will. It's not that I don't know sports, I'm just a cheap bastard, which fellow Reserve Clause contributor Zach Hammer can fully attest to. So with that little disclaimer aside, let's get to what the three of you clicked here for.
Spread: Over/Under 8
Both the Royals and Blue Jays boast some real hitters in their lineups, so an Over/Under of just 8 almost seemed insulting. Either team can do that on their own any given night. While the Jays trot out their ace, lefty Ricky Romero (2.73 ERA), the Royals are counting on Luke Hochevar, owner of a bloated 4.93 ERA, to shut down the likes of Jose Bautista, Adam Lind and Edwin Encarnacion. And with both teams also sporting shaky bullpens, I like the over on this one.
MY PICK: OVER 8
There it is, my first, and possibly only, Daily Bet. Best of luck, and Josh will be back soon, with a full slideshow of gorgeous lighthouses to share.
