They’ll finish against Johnny Cueto who gave up four runs in six innings in Game 2.
According to oddsmakers from online sports book Mybookie.ag, the Royals are -130 money line favorites over the Astros, who are +120 money line underdogs for tonight’s game. The total, meanwhile, is sitting at 7.5 runs.
