Kansas City at Los Angeles

The LA Angels made a lot of noise when they ponied up large for Shohei Ohtani. Ohtani has delivered on the mound with a 4-1 record backed by a 3.18 ERA, with one of the best splitters in the game. Ohtani offers another advantage as he can swing the bat as well. The Royals are a mess, as they have found no answers to their starting pitching and enter the game at 21-40. The Royals are allowing 5.64 runs per game, allowing 5+ runs in 37 contests. They are just 9-38 when their opponent scores just three runs or more, so little to be hopeful about here. The Royals are already 0-5 vs. LA this season, losing on average by 2.6 runs a game. Play on LA in this one.
