4* Money Maker
(MLB) Boston vs. Kansas City,
Money Line: 121.00 Kansas City (Home)
Result: Win
Taking the ROYALS here. Defending champs trying to find a little bit of the last 2 years magic. They have struggled so far this year. But I do like what I have seen from them on a whole. Porcello has been savior in the rotation for the Sox. 6-1 with a .99 WHIP, respectable ERA for sure. Just feel like the regression is coming. I am not saying he isn't going to go somewhere like 16-8 or along those lines. But he isn't a big strike out guy. His BA against is nearly 70 points below his career numbers. So I don't think we are seeing some newly invented guy. I think we are seeing a guy pitching about his head. Porcello pitches to contact most of the time. Royals are patient and are too good to be slumping for extended periods of time. Ventura has been impressive in his 3 home starts (.177 BA against 2.65 ERA). 4* Money Maker KC ROYALS
