We had another good day and it could have even been better if the Indians could have hit with RISP but we move on. The injury to Jackson also hurt us as the Cubs bullpen was terrible last night giving up run after run to the worst hitting Padres. It is a rarity for the Padres to score over 10 runs and we have a great trend that we are planning on exploiting today in our premium plays.

Cleveland and Kansas City Under 8
Tomlin vs Ventura tonight in KC. Tomlin is very underrated per our system and is fighting for his spot in the rotation. He is coming off a terrible performance but that was against the great hitting Tigers. The Royals are a completely different beast who are worse hitting at home and have been very poor hitting since the break. Tomlin is significantly better on the road with an ERA south of 3.5. Ventura is also coming off a terrible performance where he was torched for 6 runs against the Red Sox. The Indians are not the same team on the road and Ventura should be able to come on strong as he has down well against the Indians this season. We have two pitchers coming off bad performances who are going to want to prove themselves. We see this game not hitting 6 today in KC.
