MLB - 973 Kansas City Royals @ 974 New York Mets
(Starting Pitchers: E. Santana vs Z. Wheeler)
This will be the third game of this series, with the first two games going to extra innings. The Mets are also without their best hitter David Wright right now, so this is another problem for them. Both bullpens are also very used as the first two games of this series went to 11 and 12 innings and as the Mets will be starting Zack Wheeler, a pitcher that has only reached the 7th inning twice in eight starts, this will be a very tough problem for the Mets today.
Wheeler is coming from a nice start at Miami, but the Marlins just can't hit a ball these days. Kansas City might not be a great hitting team, but Wheeler is on regression mode with a poor 1.57 K/BB ratio, a 3.55 ERA, but a 5.17 FIP! On the other side, the Royals will start Erwin Santana today, who has been great lately, while allowing just 2, 1 and 0 earned runs on his last three outings, even though he faced Baltimore and Detroit in two of these games! With Santana dominating, Wheeler struggling and the with Royals having a bullpen edge, I expect Kansas City to pick up a comfortable win today.
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 973 Kansas City Royals ML (w/ E. Santana) @ -146 / 1.69 on Betonline
