St. Louis at Kansas City

Carlos Martinez has quietly been one of the top pitchers in baseball in recent years, and the Cardinals come into this season at 44-23 in his career starts. Things have not been the same in recent outings for Martinez. St. Louis is just 5-9 in his last 14 starts. The Cardinals enter at a game under .500 on the season. Kansas City has moved to four games over .500 and in contention in the AL Central. The Royals are showing a lot of value due to a 7-16 start in April, but they have since been 50-37. Look no further than an offense that produced a woeful 2.74 runs in their 23 April games, to one that has scored 4.80 runs per game since. Martinez is struggling and KC bats have been doing well. Make the play on Kansas City.
