MLB Premium Play 09/21: Cleveland Indians @ Kansas City Royals


MLB - 975 Cleveland Indians @ 976 Kansas City Royals

(Starting Pitchers: J. Masterson vs L. Mendoza)

Kansas City is coming from a big series against the White Sox, a team that owned the whole season. They won their last two games in very close contests and so, it is expected that they have a natural letdown tonight against an inferior team. The Royals will be without Salvador Perez and Alex Gordon (one of their best hitters), so they won't be in their maximum force. They will face Masterson tonight, who has been inconsistent this season, but he is also capable of having good games and most of his last starts were against top teams like Detroit twice, Oakland twice, the Yankees and the Angels. Therefore, I believe Masterson has a good spot to have a quality outing today.

Kansas City will start Mendoza tonight, who is also capable of the best and the worst. He is clearly worse against LH hitters and Cleveland will only have one RH hitters in their lineup tonight. Therefore, I believe the Indians should be able to expose Mendoza's inconsistency tonight and cause him to struggle a bit. With Cleveland having a good spot tonight, especially due to the Royals' letdown spot, I believe the Indians have a great chance for the upset and so, I'll be taking them in here.

Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 975 Cleveland Indians ML (w/ J. Masterson) @ +117 / 2.17 on Betonline
