Money Line: -115.00 Kansas City (Away)
Result: Loss
This is a 10* play on the Kansas City Royals.
The Royals come into Philadelphia as winners of four of their last five, but they are still six games back of Cleveland in the AL Central. They play Game 1 of a new series in Philly tonight, and they appear to have a favorable matchup on the mound.
Ian Kennedy will toe the rubber for the Royals, and he's coming off a stellar performance. Kennedy (6-6, 3.96 ERA) gave up one run on three hits, striking out 11 in seven innings in a home win over Houston his last time out. He's owned the Phillies in previous meetings, holding them to a combined .145 batting average in 55 at bats.
The Phillies hand the ball to Jeremy Hellickson, who hasn't pitched well in Philadelphia. Hellickson (5-6, 4.23 ERA) allowed three runs on six hits over seven innings in a 3-1 loss to Arizona in his last home start. He's 2-3 with a 3.37 ERA in eight starts at Citizen's Bank Park. The right-hander is 0-2 with a 9.17 ERA in his last four starts versus Kansas City.
The Royals bullpen still ranks 1st in the major leagues with an ERA of 2.72.
Take KC.
