Royals at Astros
(MLB) Royals (KAN) vs. Astros (HOU),
Money Line: -160.00 Astros (HOU) (Home)
Result: Win
A bit bigger price than we're used to laying, but we'll go ahead and give it a spin with the Astros, who can complete the weekend sweep of the Royals and deal KC a fourth straight loss in the process. KC hasn't won since blowing a 5-2 lead and a chance to take over the top spot in the AL Central on Wednesday vs. the Guardians, and doubt things improve much with Sunday starter Alec Marsh, who has been like a yo-yo between AAA and MLB thru the summer and was hit hard again in his return to the bigs last Monday when allowing 4 runs and 5 hits in just 4 2/3 IP at Cleveland. As Roniel Blanco has remained serviceable on the mound for the Astros, Houston has enough momentum to complete the sweep after allowing KC just four runs total across the past two days (both Houston wins).
