Royals at Guardians
(MLB) Royals (KAN) vs. Guardians (CLE),
Total: 8.50 | -130.00 Over
Result: Win
Losing the first game of this Monday day-night twin bill should have Cleveland on proper alert for the nightcap. KC won the opener 4-3 earlier today, temporarily pulling within 2 games of the top spot in the AL Central. Still, we might rather opt for the "over" in this second game, as neither of these starting pitchers has overly impressed. For the Royals, Alec Marsh is being used as a spot-starter tonight after being sent to AAA Omaha following his last appearance for KC on July 29; he has a 4.99 ERA on the road in earlier work this season for the Royals nd is slated to return to Omaha after this game. As for the Guardians, they have also recalled their starter (Logan Allen) from AAA Columbus, where he was sent following a string of indifferent efforts, including a 6.05 ERA at home.
