New York at Kansas City

This should be an interesting game tonight in Kansas City. The Royals wheel out Jason Vargas, who through seven starts is wielding a 1.01 ERA on the season, the best mark in the majors this season. He will go against a Yankees lineup that has been hitting the long ball with unexpected frequency. Vargas has a poor history vs. the Yankees, as his career numbers are 0-5 with a king sized 6.53 ERA. However, he has not faced them in nearly two years, and the current Yankees lineup, has had little experience against him, so those numbers mean little. The Royals are a hot team right now winning six-of-eight. Hot pitcher, home, and a hot team makes for a valuable dog. Play on Kansas City.
