Free MLB Pick

Kyle Lohse has good historical stats against Kansas City with his team winning three of his last four stats, but note that his last start came in 2012. His stat line against the current roster are average at best with the Royals hitting .261 lifetime against him. Kansas City starter Edinson Volquez has had success against the Brewers holding them to 3 or fewer runs in 7 straight starts. Milwaukee has been playing better recently winning 6 of their last 10 games, but the Royals are the superior team here with the better starter and the line assigned to this game is low enough for us to back the road team in this spot.
