This is a 10* TOP DOG on the Kansas City Royals.
Setting the scene: The Royals held on for a 6-3 win yesterday and we think the defending champs offer awesome value in this spot as well. Danny Duffy has been one of the surprises this year, while counterpart David Price has endured an up-and-down campaign to this point.
Duffy: He's 11-1 with a 2.66 ERA. Most recently he allowed one run off eight hits while striking out four over seven innings in a victory over Minnesota on Sunday. Duffy has now held his opposition to one run or fewer in five of his last seven starts and has posted a win in each of his last five trips to the hill. Note that Duffy is 5-1 with a 2.04 ERA on the road.
Price: He's 12-8 with a 4.00 ERA. He comes in off a strong effort vs. Tampa Bay on Monday, going eight scoreless. Price has now won three straight starts, but note that despite a winning 7-3 record, he owns a pedestrian 4.25 ERA at home this year.
The bottom line: Kansas City is surging towards the finish line, the Royals have won 11 of their past 12 and 16 of 19 to pull within three games of the Orioles for the second wild card spot. Boston is trending in the opposite direction, loser of three straight. The value is simply too good to turn down here, we're backing the red hot Duffy and the white hot ROYALS.
