Los Angeles Angels Fantasy Spin
Mike Trout went 1-for-4 with a walk and two RBI in a loss to the Royals on Saturday. Trout drove in his first run on his RBI double in the first, and and the second run batted in came on a bases-loaded walk. He has a .495 on-base percentage and .590 slugging percentage. He's great.
Kansas City Royals Fantasy Spin
Adalberto Mondesi went 3-for-5 with two runs scored on Saturday against the Angels. Mondesi picked up an RBI with his single in the third, and he scored both of his runs on two-run triples by Hunter Dozier. Mondesi was a star in the second half of last year, and while it's been just one month, the 23-year-old has carried it over with a .290/.310/.505 average along with three homers and seven steals over 26 games.
MLB Betting Trends
Los Angeles
The Angels are 3-10 in their last 13 games overall.
Kansas City
The Royals have dropped six of eight overall.
Prediction:
The Royals don’t have the most potent offense but they do have four lefties that they can throw at Harvey, who has struggled getting left-handed batters out. He also isn’t missing many bats and his strikeout rate is down to 14.3%. Bailey, meanwhile, has been more good than bad this year but he also is coming off a disastrous four-run, one-inning start. The over is 5-2 in the Royals’ last seven games, is 20-8-3 in their last 21 home games and is 4-1 in the Angels’ last five contests.
The Pick: Angels/Royals OVER 9
