Premium Pick

Kansas City is three games within first place in the AL Central after winning its fourth in a row and the Royals have outscored opponents 32-4 in that span, including an 8-1 victory over Cincinnati on Sunday. Dairon Blanco hit his third home run in two days as the Royals kept up their hot hitting with 13 hits. Seth Lugo will start tonight with a 13-7 mark and a 1.09 WHIP and he'll try to bounce back from a couple bad outings. Los Angeles hitters are only 10-for-44 with no home runs and only three extra-base hits against Lugo, who has a 3.08 ERA at home this season. The Angels have lost seven of nine and have fallen into a tie for last place in the AL West. They have gone UNDER four of their past six games and the Angels have stayed UNDER five straight in the first game of a series. Seven of the past eight meetings at Kansas City have gone UNDER. The Angels have lost three of Carson Fulmer's past four starts. Take the Royals and the UNDER.
