8/9 St. Louis Cardinals @ Kansas City Royals 8:10pm EST

Royals TT over 4.5 +100 (1.5u)

Time to go back to the most loyal team to us this year in the MLB, the Kansas City Royals. On the season, when betting on the Royals we are 22-4 (+22.94u). We look to make that 25 today as we have a matchup that we like against Miles Mikolas and the St. Louis Cardinals.

The Royals are hitting .268 at home and sit at the top of the league in terms of home production. They are coming off a series where they were fighting the Red Sox and put up 18 runs against them while losing 2/3 games. We think their offense is able to continue some hot hitting. Over the last 10 games, the Royals are hitting .277. The Royals are hitting Mikolas at .303 in 76 ABs, but this Bat vs. Pitcher number is a little inflated, cause Adam Frazier and Hunter Renfroe take up 67% of the ABs for Royals, but still a very solid play.

On the season, Mikolas has made 23 starts and has an 8-9 record with a 5.12 ERA and a 1.27 WHIP. Mikolas has had more struggles at home compared to on the road, but he still has made mistakes when not in St. Louis. In his 13 starts on the road, Mikolas holds a 4.17 ERA and has an opponent batting average of .274. Mikolas has been getting rocked in his last 4 starts allowing 7+ hits in each game against the Cubs, Nats, Braves, and Cubs again. Gotta think the Royals will be able to push some home, Royals the best team in the league with RISP hitting .300 and a .367 OBP.

Take the Royals TT here in the unit upgrade as we see the Royals getting hits off Mikolas who has allowed 7+ in his last 4 starts. The Royals are the best team in the league at hitting with RISP, so look for them to make Mikolas pay for some of his mistakes here tonight.
