Zack Grienke Impacting AL Central Race Sport Betting. Sport betting on the Kansas City Royals has been a huge loser this year but not when Zack Grienke is on the mound. Grienke picked up his 16th win of the season on Sunday and handed the Minnesota Twins a big loss in online sports betting. The Twins open up a huge four-game series in Detroit where they have to win and then they will have to face Grienke again in the final sport betting series of the season
Sport betting on Zack Grienke has him as the Cy Young favorite in the American League. Greinke worked seven innings of a 4-1 sport betting victory over the Twins at Kauffman Stadium on Sunday. He worked in and out of trouble as he stranded eight runners. The only other pitcher on Kansas City’s staff that can be trusted is closer Joakim Soria and he went the final two innings to save Grienke’s sport betting win.
Online sports betting shows that Greinke was at his best in the third inning as he worked out of a bases-loaded, no-outs jam. Matt Tolbert walked, Nick Punto bounced a single off Greinke’s glove and Denard Span looped a single. Cabrera tapped to Hernandez, who threw home to catcher Miguel Olivo for a forceout. Greinke then struck out Joe Mauer and Jason Kubel to end the threat as sport betting stats show.
The Twins head into Monday’s sport betting action two games behind Detroit for the American League Central lead. Realistically the Twins will need to take three of four in sport betting against the Tigers. That would get them even heading into the final three games of the season when the Twins face Kansas City in sport betting while Detroit has the White Sox. Anything less than taking three of four will simply not be enough in sport betting since a split would keep them two games back. The problem for Minnesota in the final online sports betting series at the sports book is that they have to face Grienke again and that is never good news for any team in online sports betting.
This should be an entertaining sport betting week in baseball at the sports book. The Tigers and Twins will grab the headlines at the sportsbook but there are likely to be some other interesting games on the sport betting schedule at the sportsbook.
