Oakland wins! They have much better pitching and Lester should stroll through this lineup. I'm also going with the under 6.5 (Shields Lester matchup). Both offenses are decent and oak still has the advantage in hitting.

Well, been registered for about a month now.. finally making first post! The contests on this site are the real deal, and I was looking for a spot to share my input.
Born in '86, I've never seen the Royals make it to the playoffs, and being from Cleveland, I always rooted for them after the Tribe because they seemed like such an underdog, and year after year they showed exactly why they were at the cellar of the AL Central.
Here we are, almost 30 years later, the KC Royals are an the brink of an ALDS birth. Oakland, struggling the past 50+ days, can't seem to muster that many runs on a consistent basis, while Kansas City features an emerging star batting in the 3-hole, Lorenzo Cain. After looking at KC's potential lineup, and seeing their results against Lester in the past, it's hard to go against powerful baseball numbers (specifically, OBP), and think KC won't be ready to hit John Lester.
What does John Lester owe the Athletics? Of course, as an athlete would, he wants to go out and no-hit the Royals, but other than that he does not have any investment in OAK what-so-ever (I suspect he might be back in BOS before 2015) I look for this talented, under-the-radar, Royals team to cover the -1.5 run line and get to Lester, although his October numbers beg to differ.
Not with 100% confidence by any means, but KC -1.5 (+195) looks like a play to me.
Best of luck, and please have fun!

In baseball, anything is possible, so when you can get +195 odds, with potential final scores of 0-2, 0-3, 1-3, 1-4, 2-4, etc., it's got a little value attached to it.
Steve: the 1.5 would not be the smartest to lay, and in fact I did say I wasn't completely sure. I would never bet more than 1% of my bankroll on this particular run line, but I would consider KC -1.5 way before laying the -235 +1.5 on Oakland.
To be clear, my play is KC ML. The run-line is just the more lucrative option.

When you look at the last 162 games Oakland scored 729 total runs while giving up 522 runs. Kansas City score 651 total runs while giving up 569 runs. For Lackey's season he is 16 - 11 with an ERA of 2.44 with 219 inning pitched and 220 strike-outs. While Shields season he is 14 - 8 with an ERA of 321 with 227 innings pitched and 18 strike-outs. It looks like Oakland wins and Under 6.5. I just want a great game tonight.

Oakland wins! They have much better pitching and Lester should stroll through this lineup. I'm also going with the under 6.5 (Shields Lester matchup). Both offenses are decent and oak still has the advantage in hitting.

IMO, you'd be better off finding a -1 run line calculator and betting accordingly.

Interesting A's are pairing Soto with Lester tonight...he's never caught him before. Seems like the A's are trying to win 1-0...which of course is possible with Lester, but maybe they are feeling the pressure of the near collapse at tail end of season?!
Big Game James is no slouch himself. Gordon & Butler have been completely owned by Lester in their careers (.160 avg & .454 OPS and .143 avg & .451 OPS, respectively) but some of the other guys have had success (Cain, Escobar, Perez, etc). Advantage to KC's bullpen.
I'm going with the hotter team recently, which is playing at home and has nothing to lose...KC ML +100
Also, like the Mister Post's RL (-1 1/2) at +200 with my book...worth a small play as well, could see a 3-1 or 4-2 win. GL all.

on the opposite side of pitcher/batter matchups...
Reddick has crushed Shields (.318 avg & 1.182 OPS), but Shields has pretty much owned Donaldson (.222 avg & .778 OPS) and Moss (.214 avg & .429 OPS). Not many other bats to worry much about in the lineup for A's tonight. (I'm sure Fuld will go 3-for-4 with 2 dbls now that I've written that).

Being a Boston native I would put my money on LESTER!!! He's been clutch in the past with the Red Sox... I went to a game a few years ago and saw him throw a No Hitter at Fenway Park! :)

Bill Miller behind the plate, small strike zone to lefties and favors the visitors... Redick owns Shields and is hitting good now! Shields poor playoff showing in Tampa reason for trade... Wind blowing 16 mph from the south favors left hand hitters for the deep ball. Lester the man in playoffs. Forget about the regular season, this is the playoffs, Oakland Runline for me at +155 is the play. 6-1... Hr's Dunn, Redick, Moss! KC park home plate to center is north east! Did the royals sleep good last night? I know Oakland did!

I think the A's take this game. KC is just happy to be in the playoffs and they have zero experience playing in games like this. While Shields has pitched in these types of game, the rest of the KC team has not.
The A's on the other hand, have played in these types of games. This is the 3rd year in a row they are in the playoffs, they are used to this kind of environment.
