Guardians minus $1.40 hosting Royals
Having lost nine of their last 11 games, the Royals are now tied with the Reds for the worst record in baseball at 16-31.
So I don’t find this price too high to back the Guardians at home. Cleveland has proven to be a reliable home favorite winning 40 of the past 57 times in that role.
The pitching matchup is Daniel Lynch versus Cal Quantrill.
Lynch has a 3.92 ERA. He hasn’t gone longer than six innings in any of his eight starts this season. That’s important because the Royals have the second-worst bullpen ERA in the majors. Lynch has made three career starts against the Guardians. All came last season. His ERA in those outings was 7.24.
Quantrill has a 3.42 ERA. He’s given up three runs in his last two starts spanning 13 innings. The righthander is 4-0 lifetime versus the Royals with a 2.83 ERA in seven appearances, including four starts. He’s backed by a far superior bullpen. The Guardians are 12-0 when leading after six innings. Kansas City is 7-19 in its last 26 games versus a righty starter.
Cleveland has dominated the Royals at home winning 17 of the past 23 times.
I am on a 25-8 hot streak on my premium plays after a 4-0 Monday on my premium/free plays. I have won 10 of my last 12 MLB premium plays and have my MLB Chalk Game of the Month topping my Tuesday card. I am 27-12 in the NBA playoffs, including 15-5 on my last 20 NBA plays and 5-1 on my last six WNBA plays. I also am 52-34-1 on my hockey Max Unit plays after cashing a Max Unit winner with the plus $1.35 underdog Rangers on Monday. I have my puck line game of the week going today along with a WNBA play in addition to this free selection.
