Today's Free Play - Simon

The streak is continuing as I remain perfect at 3-0 and Handicapping Vegas is a shattering 5-1 this week.  Let's ride this streak!  Today we're going with a decent underdog:
Kansas City Royals over Cleveland Indians @ +128 (2.28)


I'm taking a pretty big underdog today but have a good feeling about this one.  After an entertaining 12 inning come from behind win against Detroit on Wednesday, it's a good thing Kansas City had the day off yesterday.  On the other hand, the Indians finished their tough series against Oakland with a win yesterday to avoid the sweep but have to jump right back into it with KC.  KC has had an unreal bullpen as of late, not allowing a single run in 5 innings of work against a tough apponent in Detroit.  Kansas City rarely gives up and as of late, look like they are actually having fun.  KC's Bullington is on the mound today and after a short stint with Cleveland in 2008, looks to smash his old team that really never gave him a fair chance.  Tomlin, another rookie for Cleveland, will be tossing tonight and has been shellshocked in his last 3 games with a whopping 5.50 ERA.  In his last start, Tomlin made countless mistakes leaving balls high in the strike zone and is dearly struggling with his usually trusty cutter.  KC won their last series with Cleveland only a week ago, and look for them to start this series off with a win tonight.
