Bet Today’s Angels vs. Royals Game
OUR PICK: The Angels are just 6-13 in their last 19 games versus the Royals, who are 6-2 in their last eight home games versus Los Angeles. Kennedy is 0-2 to start the season but he allowed just two runs on six hits and two walks across six innings of work on Monday. He pitched to contact effectively and allowed just two extra-base hits but a two-run hoe run by Khris Davis did him in. Given how close the pitching matchup is today, the Royals offer bettors some value as the home team.
