Rays Alert.....

This game would not bother me if it was a weekday game. It being as Saturday game, I am very worried Vegas might want influence the outcome in favor of KC because the whole world is on TB Rays and the RL.

The Rays beat them like a drum last night. Now everyone is on them again. I think this is a perfect opportunity for Vegas to work their magic.

I agree agent that this is a dangerous spot to side with the rays. We shall see how it plays out but i think play kc small or avoid.

It is better stay away then to take the chance. To think that kind of stuff doesn't exist is a little innocent. I could be wrong, it wouldn't be the first time.

might do KC reverse run line for fun

does this saturday underdog thing happen a lot?

off the top of my head I can think of the Athletics vs the Yanks, but the As were playing decent going into that series

Rays are something like 7-0 vs the Royals with an ERA just a touch over 2.2 for the year against KC. I'll take my chances on the Rays RL.

I think Vegas still needs a quality arm to fix a game!! Chen just might not cut it for them in this case!!!
