MLB Betting Trends
Kansas City
The Royals are just 3-10 in their last 13 against AL West opponents and 8-21 in their last 29 road games against a team with a winning record.
Los Angeles
The Angels are 24-11 in their last 35 Tuesday games and 4-1 in their last five at homes. They also have won seven of their last 10 against a right-handed starter.
Prediction:
The Angels have been hard to trust at home, but I think they get another win tonight. The Royals are pitching an unproven starter tonight and will likely have to turn quickly to a bullpen that has been very shaky. Los Angeles has a pretty reliable arm with Heaney and they have the hitting and bullpen that KC doesn’t.
The Pick: Los Angeles Angels -190
