Free MLB Pick
Garret Richards has pitched well all season, but the same can’t be said of the Royals’ Jeremy Guthrie who has struggled in far too many starts. However, they both have had success against their opponent’s current roster with the Angels having a .220 batting average against Guthrie and KC having a .213 versus Richards. Kansas City has dominated this series winning seven straight dating back to 2014 which includes a three game sweep on the road in April. The Royals are 20 games above .500 at Kauffman Stadium and are our play here.
