I made a small error when posting yesterday at +102 and +100
on the Angels and Phillies respectively. At the time I was typing I was
multi-tasking and accidentally typed the 9 inning lines instead of the 5 inning
lines I actually got. Sorry. Accidents happen. All is correct now.

Reds: Cueto is
one of very few guys remaining that could go 6-0 in the KEQS (KeyElement Quality
Start) rating for April. That type of W-L record is simply, per the KeyElement
rating system did you personally score higher than the other starting pitcher?
By doing so we know if we have a guy that can probably go at least 5 innings
and put
his team in a position to win. That is all we can reasonably ask. Versus
the MLB average of 67.3, Cueto has turned in an average of 76.2 in his four
sterling performances as opposed to a 65.4 average for Volquez in three
straight defeats. Volquez was a disaster in Cincinnati
and I thought the trade to San Diego was the
best thing that could have happened to him, but he was really no better there
and I don’t why the Pirates brought him back to the Midwest,
unless he works for minimum wage, sweeps the clubhouse and polishes shoes in
his spare time. The handicap starts at Cueto -174 over Volquez and that easily
beats any adjustment factors that may favor the Pirates.
Royals: Shields
is not unbeaten but not many guys start the season with Verlander and Sale as opponents either.
Only once, in the opener versus Verlander has Shields surrendered more than one
earned run. The guy is solid and his offense has come around. Salazar is a good
prospect but falls into funks where he just can’t find the plate and the Royals
are very good at exploiting that. The Tribe has compiled a 3-6-3 record versus
righty in the 5 inning game so far while the Royals have gone 7-5-2 in 14 games
and own a higher oera. Coming off a slim one run loss last night and sending
their stopper to the hill, I gotta like them. On the road gives us a fair price
we wouldn’t see in K.C.
Rangers: Martinez is not rated as
a phenom but has shown respectability I can live with and this play is actually
more about the Rangers offense versus an over valued Tommy Milone at a BIG bonus price. At -160 the A’s need a
61.5% probability of a win to pass the break even point. That is stud
territory, not Tommy Milone. He is only 1-1 in the KEQS and that is thanks to a
bad performance by Tyler Skaggs (59) when Milone was matched up against him.
The probability, or even possibility, that the Rangers have a 40.8% chance of a
win is just far more likely. Essentially a tossup, take the big bonus side.
