MLB - 969 Kansas City Royals @ 970 Tampa Bay Rays
(Starting Pitchers: J. Guthrie vs A. Cobb)
Kansas City keeps winning and they are already 32-33 on the standings! His great pitching continues to be the key for that, combined with some clutch hitting in some innings. Jeremy Guthrie will start for them today and after three poor outings, where he allowed 6, 6 and 5 runs, he has bounced back with three straight good outings, where he allowed just 2, 1 and 2 runs! Two of those starts were against Detroit and St Louis, two top offenses! His performance against Detroit was impressive, as he didn't have a single strikeout in that game!
The Rays will be starting Alex Cobb, who is coming from his worst start of the season against Boston, where he allowed six runs in four innings. He is coming from two outings against Detroit and Boston, two of the toughest opponents that he can face. Now against the less dangerous Royals, I expect Cobb to bounce back, as Kansas City is just #28 in the league against RH pitchers with just .253 BA on their last 10 games! Cobb struggled at Kansas City earlier on this season, but that was poor luck, as he had a .429 BABIP on that outing.
I expect both Guthrie and Cobb to dominate today, turning this game into a low scoring contest, unlike what happened on the first two games of this series, due to a big inning by the Royals in each game. Therefore, I'll be taking the Under in here.
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 969/970 Under 7,5 (w/ J. Guthrie & A. Cobb) @ -105 / 1.95 on Bookmaker
