Kansas City Royals +1.5 (-135) is the play over Boston Red Sox
Ian Kennedy is the starting pitcher today for the Royals. This guy has out right stingy as of late allowing only 3 runs on 22 hits in his last 34 innings. That is tough to deal with. Then you throw in the Royals bullpen back behind him, which is on a roll themselves in not allowing a run in the last 38 innings. This pitching staff is just incredible right now. You don't need a bunch of run support when you are pitching like that.
Wright is on the mound for Boston. Good pitcher, but better on the road. For some reason, he gives up a lot of hits at home. So far, he has had the run support to keep a nice record, but Boston bats haven't been doing so well lately and then you run into Kennedy and his crew with the stats mentioned above.
I honestly see the wrong team being favored here. Royals should win this game out right in a tight, low scoring event, but I can get a +1.5 points for -135 for insurance. I am investing not gambling, so I will take whatever edge I can find.
For all of the above listed info, I am also on the under at 9.5. I was just going to take the side, but when I saw the line move to 9.5 from 9.0, I found another edge. Not quite sure who is seeing what to move the line up that extra half a run, but I'll take the insurance.
Kansas City Royals +1.5 (-135)
Kansas City Royals/Boston Red Sox Under 9.5 (-125)
Best of luck to all today
