I like the Astros on the runline against the Kansas City Royals on Monday. The Astros just had their 3 game win streak snapped on Sunday, but they had won each of those by 2+ runs. The Astros will be out for revenge here as they lost their last series to the Royals 3-1 just a few days ago. Zack Greinke (11-3, 3.43 ERA) will be starting on the mound for the Astros and he has pitched well this year. He has been credited with 3 straight wins but his team has actually lost 3 games in his last 4 starts. He has only allowed 1 earned run in his last 13 innings of play and I expect that great form to continue here. The Royals have been on a great streak as they have just 1 loss in their last 7. Daniel Lynch (3-3, 5.12 ERA) is starting for the Royals and he has been having a good debut season. His team has won his last 3 starts and he has allowed 5 earned runs in that span. In his last start, he face this Astros team and allowed just 1 run through 7 innings as he picked up the win for his team. Now that the Astros have seen him pitch, I expect a much different result in this game. They will be looking to make up for that series loss they suffered and will want to make Lynch pay as he contributed to that. The astros win this one by -1.5 runs.

T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Astros.
