(973) KANSAS CITY ROYALS at (974) CLEVELAND INDIANS
Take: (973) KANSAS CITY ROYALS +103
I don’t think there’s any such thing as a before the fact easy winner. I avoid that terminology in promoting games as I think it’s inane. Easy winners after the fact? Yeah, sure. And I also believe there are what amounts to easy decisions, although it should be noted they definitely don’t always work out that way.
Tonight’s Royals/Indians hookup falls into that easy decision category for me. It’s over for the Indians. They really needed to get that Monday evening win following the resumption of the suspended game. But it didn’t happen and what I saw last night was a beaten Cleveland team that knows it’s finished for this season.
On the flip side, the Royals clinch a playoff berth with a win tonight, and they’re still very much in the hunt to win the AL Central and avoid that dreaded play-in game. The Royals were really energized on Tuesday night, and I would be stunned if we don’t see more of the same tonight. Make no mistake, I’m not the only one who noticed this as Indians analyst Rick Manning was talking about how KC had a “spring in its step” last night, and that was while the game was still scoreless.
The pitching matchup tonight is Jason Vargas vs. Trevor Bauer, but I’m not sure that matters much. This one is all about the intangibles, which heavily favor the visitors tonight. I’m a little surprised to see a plus sign next to KC as this is written, but I’m sure not complaining. I’m on the Royals to collect another win tonight.

Comp MLB Pick for Wednesday, September 24, 2014: 10:10 PM
(963) SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS VS (964) LOS ANGELES DODGERS
Take: over the total.
Reason: Your free pick for Wednesday, September 24th comes in the national League as the Giants City and the Dodgers battle it out in Los Angeles. San Francisco has a fine offense, 13th in runs scored and slugging in a tight pennant race. The over is 8-1 in the Giants last 9 games as a road underdog. Aging Tim Hudson is breaking down, allowing 5, 6, 3 and 6 runs his last four starts (20 runs in 16 innings). The iver is 10-2-1 in the Giants last 13 vs. a team with a winning record. Hudson (9-12) took the loss Friday against the Padres as he gave up five runs (four earned) on seven hits in 4.1 innings pitched. It's likely that Hudson's hip injury is still affecting his production as his ERA has jumped from 2.90 to 3.52 as of Aug. 27. He has allowed 18 earned runs over his last four starts and is hurting the Giants more than helping. He faces an LA offense that is 7th in runs scored and slugging, tops in on base percentage. The over is 20-6-1 in the Dodgers last 27 overall. Yasiel Puig, batting .425 in his last 10 contests, is 14 for 35 (.400) in his last nine against the Giants. The over is 18-7-1 in Dodgers last 26 games as a favorite. Play the Giants/Dodgers over the total.

Kansas City Royals vs. Cleveland Indians
1* Bonus Play Kansas City Royals
The Kansas City Royals are poised to make the playoff as they're holding down one of the Wild Card spots at the moment. They're only one game behind the Tigers in the AL Central as well, and they can put the final nail in the coffin for the Indians by completing the sweep in Cleveland tonight.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Pitching - The Indians will hand the ball to Trevor Bauer (5-8, 4.06 ERA) who's win-less over the last 30 days, and with Cleveland coming up short in all of his last four starts. He conceded three runs on four hits with two homers over six innings in a no decision at Minnesota his most recent outing, and the 23 year old is usually performing better in day games rather than under the lights where he's 4-4 with a 4.68 ERA. The Royals will counter with Jason Vargas (11-10, 3.59 ERA) who's coming off three consecutive losses. Two of those were at home though, and Vargas has generally been better on the road this season going 5-4 with a 2.42 ERA. He's got decent numbers against the Indians line-up, and has owned David Murphy who's only 2-for-24 lifetime versus the southpaw.
2. Road Warriors - The Royals are a respectable 44-32 away from home, making them the fourth best road team in baseball. They've won 18 of their last 25 games outside of Kansas City.
3. X-factor - Billy Butler and Salvador Perez have been swinging hot bats lately , with both of them going 3-for-7 so far in this series.

Chicago White Sox vs. Detroit Tigers
Free MLB play Detroit Tigers
The Tigers have Kansas City breathing down their neck, with just one game separating them from their AL Central rivals in the standings. Detroit will play it's final five games at home, beginning with the rubber match of this three game set versus Chicago. Both teams will send their ace to the mound, but I think home team should have a big edge here.
Justin Verlander will toe the slab for the Tigers, and he's won five of his last six starts. Verlander (14-12, 4.68 ERA) surrendered just one run on seven hits over 7 1/3 innings in a 10-1 win at Kansas City his last time out. He also defeated the White Sox during this recent hot streak, limiting Chicago to a single run over seven innings in a 7-1 win at Cellular Field. He's 2-1 with a 4.39 ERA in four starts versus the White Sox this season. Three of those four starts came in Chicago, and he was dominant in the only home meeting, allowing a pair of runs while fanning seven in seven innings of work.
The White Sox hand the ball to Chris Sale, who is coming off a rare loss. Sale (12-4, 2.20 ERA) allowed five runs on nine hits over just five innings in a 6-2 loss to the Royals. He's given up 10 runs on 18 hits in three losses in his last three starts on the road. He's had trouble in Detroit, going 1-2 with a 3.98 ERA in his last six trips to Comerica Park.
Victor Martinez has owned Sale, hitting .536 with three home runs lifetime.

BRAD WILTON
Sure looked like the Braves were going to get the bats working last night, as they raced out to the 2-0 lead, but then didn't score again for the rest of the night in a 3-2 loss, and yet another Under!
Look for Atlanta to continue to close the season out with another Under tonight, as the Braves are currently on a 7-1 Under clip on this home-stand, and they have been held to 2 runs or less in 7 of those 8 games, including getting blanked 3 times thus far!
The Pirates are also playing them low lately, as they have now held Under the posted price in each of their last 6.
Jeff Locke and Julio Teheran will do the mound work, Locke allowing 2 runs or less in 5 of his last 7 starts, while Teheran has allowed 2 runs or less in 6 of his last 7 starts overall.
Pitching dominates again tonight, as the Pirates and Braves both add another Under to their recent string of low-scoring games.
