The Kansas City Royals are bringing their .243 batting average to Angel Stadium, where the Los Angeles Angels are looking to use their home-field advantage to take down their opponents, and a big part of that advantage is Reid Detmers, the Angels' starting pitcher with a 4.00 ERA and 156 strikeouts. The Royals, on the other hand, will be relying on Randy Dobnak to keep the Angels at bay, and with a 2.00 ERA under his belt, he might just be the man for the job - if he can keep the Angels from getting too comfortable, that is. The Royals are dealing with some injury issues, including a day-to-day status for Salvador Perez, which could be a problem for them as they try to take on the Angels.
The Angels have a slight edge in team ERA, with 4.43 compared to the Royals' 4.84, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're going to run away with this one - after all, the Royals have shown they can hang with the best of them. And let's not forget, the Royals have nothing to lose and everything to gain, so they might just come out swinging, or at least, that's the plan. The Angels are favored in this matchup, with a moneyline of -149, and the total is set at 8.5, so it's time to put your money where your mouth is - or, you know, just make a pick and join the discussion on StreakChat.
