Royals plus $1.65 at Angels
I don’t believe Nick Tropeano should be a favorite in this price range. He’s a No. 5 type pitcher at best and the Angels aren’t some powerhouse. They are 14-18 at home, have a weak outfield aside from the great Mike Trout and are vulnerable in the bullpen having arguably lost their two best relief pitchers, Keynan Middleton and Blake Wood, to season-ending elbow injuries.
Kansas City has won seven of its last 12 games. Until yesterday, the Royals had gone seven consecutive games without an error.
Royals starter Danny Duffy has had a rough season, but he’s strung together two straight good outings giving up two runs and eight hits in 13 2/3 innings against the Rangers and Twins.
At this big of a ‘dog price, I’ll put a peanut on the Royals.
