Kansas City at Oakland

The Oakland A's send Trevor Cahill to the mound vs the Royals. Cahill, who has pitched an up and down season which spells a .500 record overall, has not fared well vs teams with a losing record. They have been just 2-7 in his nine starts vs a team with a losing record and at 1.5-1 odds here those aren't the numbers that make the A's an appealing wager. By the same token, the Royals have risen to the occasion as has starting pitcher for this one, Brian Bannister, on the road as a +110 to +150 dog. The Royals are a nifty 5-1 in this dog situation, behind Bannister. Looks to be a live dog for this one and I'm going to go with the Royals to get it done here.
