MLB - 967 St Louis Cardinals @ 968 Kansas City Royals
(Starting Pitchers: T. Lyons vs E. Santana)
I liked what I saw from Kansas City yesterday against one of the best pitchers in the league in Adam Wainwright. They had 12 hits in eight innings was good for the Royals, even though they weren't able to be clutch. Kansas City may be struggling, but they hit .270 and .351 BA on their last two games, so they are coming to this game with some fire on their bats. The fact that they will be facing a LH pitcher tonight will only help them, as the Royals have been much better this season in hitting against LH pitchers where they are #11 in the league with .740 OPS, while they are just #26 against RH pitchers. Tyler Lyons had a good start at San Diego, but that's a pitcher-favorable park. I expect things to be much tougher for him tonight.
Erwin Santana will start for Kansas City and he has been solid this season. He had problems on his last start against the Angels due to homeruns, where he allowed four runs, but he still had a 8/0 K/BB ratio on that outing. He simply had the bad luck of facing the best offensive team in the league right now. I expect him to bounce back tonight and help the Royals in getting the win tonight.
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 968 Kansas City Royals ML (w/ E. Santana) @ -112 / 1.89 on Betonline
