Sometimes when a pitcher starts a season off the charts, that reputation sticks in the minds of all. As a result, the oddsmakers are forced to jack-up the price because of the interest level and perception. Zack Grienke is one such pitcher for the Royals. He had a microscopic ERA over his first 10 starts and led the Royals to an 8-2 mark. He has still pitched well, but for a bad team that has trouble scoring. The results show the Royals at just 2-7 in his last nine starts. The Rangers will go with Scott Feldman, who has had a good season of his own, while pitching for a much better team. He has also had success on the road where he has led the Rangers to a 6-1 mark in his last seven road starts. The Royals are really in a freefall right now, as they have dropped nine straight games. I'm going with the Rangers in this one.
