This is why I find winning in bases so hard to beat..
TOR vs KC Estrada vs Vargas
Hottest pitcher: Jason Vargas, Royals (10-3, 2.27 ERA)
The Royals hand the ball to Jason Vargas for Saturday's matinee meeting with the Blue Jays. The southpaw is showing no signs of chinks in the armor, as he continues to show out on a regular basis. He ranks third in the majors in ERA at 2.27, almost two full runs better than his career average (4.05). He has been even better at home, going 5-1 with a 1.81 ERA over seven starts at Kauffman Stadium while holding the opposition to a .227 batting average. He is also 3-0 with a 1.82 ERA in four starts under the sunshine, too.
Coldest pitcher: Marco Estrada, Blue Jays (4-5, 4.98 ERA)
The Blue Jays hand the ball to Estrada looking to get back on track after a pounding in Texas on Thursday, and a bad beat Friday night at the hands of the Royals. It won't be easy, as they'll be facing the aforementioned Vargas. Estrada has been getting tuned up this season, allowing opponents to hit .276 against him. The Jays have managed four wins in the past five outings by Estrada on grass, but they just 3-7 over his past 10 starts with four days of rest. The Jays are also a dismal 4-12 over their past 16 outings against a left-handed starter.
Estrada is 0-3, 12.67 in his last four starts
Vargas is 5-0, 2.20 in his last five starts
Toronto lost three of last four games
Royals won 10 of last 12 games
Line opened as kc -121, now Tor -115. however 80 percent on KC.. Why is sharp money on Tor?
