MLB Premium Play 08/14: Miami Marlins @ Kansas City Royals

MLB - 975 Miami Marlins @ 976 Kansas City Royals

(Starting Pitchers: J. Turner vs E. Santana)

Erwin Santana had a tough task against Boston, that exposed his main issue: the fact that he is HR prone. Thanks to that, he allowed six earned runs with one home run in just 3.2 innings. He was coming from four excellent outings in a row, so I expect him to bounce back today. He faced the #1 team on hitting versus RH pitchers this season and now he will face the dead last Miami, who is currently playing without their power hitter Giancarlo Stanton.

Jacob Turner allowed four earned runs in five innings at Atlanta, while showing a poor control once again with 5/3 K/BB. This has been the rule, as he has just a 2.00 K/BB and just 6.56 K/9! Over his last five games, his velocity has been down and he is posting a 4.13 ERA and a 1.8 K/BB ratio! He is struggling more and more lately and I expect the Royals to bounce back from last night's fiasco and score some runs today. Therefore, I expect an easy win for Kansas City in here and so, I'll be taking them on the runline.

Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 976 Kansas City Royals RL -1.5 (w/ E. Santana) @ -110 / 1.91 on Bookmaker
