MLB Wednesday !!
Yesterday's Premium Play - 3* GOM Cubs = WINNER
Yesterday's Free Play - Houston Astros = WINNER
**Overall very happy we hit the big 3*** GOM and the Free Play..I was however a little dissatisfied with the ending result of the GOM..Cubs only win 1-0 and i hate to see a big labeled game win by a slim margin..Still a win is a win and we will take it..Hendricks for the Cubs pitched a great game as he went 6 full and only allowed 3 hits and gave up 0 runs. Hendricks also struck out 6 batters...Dallas Keuchel did his norm at home as he blanks the Royals.

919 KAN (+103) Pinnacle vs 920 HOUAnalysis: It's no secret that the Kansas City Royals win games when Volquez is on the mound...In 15 starts this year for Volquez the Royals are 11-4.....On the road the Roylas have won 5 in a row when Volquez has taken the mound..Big thing here for the Royals is the run support they give Volquez..In 10 of the 15 games when Volquez had taken the mound the Royals have put up 4+ runs in those appearances...Multiple 7 run games and 8 runs games to the Royals credit with Volquez on the mound...On the road Volquez has a ERA right around 2.80...That's very good..Volquez has a WHIP of 1.17 and has won his last 6 out of 7 games he has earned a decision. Royals are 15 games over .500 for a reason..They have a great pitching staff and a great group of hitters..They have now won 11 of 14 and they are coming off 4-0 loss last night....Over this 14 game stretch the Royals have scored a total of 64 runs..That's very impresive..5+ runs a game is going to give any team a chance a win day in and day out...Astros will send out Velasquez and his ERA is at 3.72...He hasn't looked all that great in his limited roll here with the Astros...His innings have been limited ,,One thing that is ready steady with Valasquez is walks..In just 18 innings he has a total 11 walks and 19 strikeouts..Not very good for walks, but the strikeouts are very nice..Royals are a tough team to strikeout, so i can see Valasquez struggling here...Royals are not intimidated with playing on the road as they are tied for road wins..Add in the success they have with Volquez on the mound now on the road and this looks to be a solid small underdog here...I'll grab the the better team and better pitcher here tonight. Royals need to bounceback to avoid the sweep.
