Chase Burns went 4-0 with a 1.19 ERA in May and enters June at 7-1 with a 1.96 ERA — fifth-lowest in baseball — a 23-year-old pitching like a veteran frontline arm in his first full season at this level. His last start produced eight strikeouts and a 7-2 road win against the Mets, and the assignment against Kansas City does not get much harder. The Royals have lost six straight games, went 10-18 in May, own the lowest-scoring offense in the majors, and just absorbed back-to-back sweeps at the hands of the Yankees and Rangers. Maikel Garcia is nursing a hamstring injury that may keep him out of the lineup. This is not a team that can generate runs against a pitcher operating at this level right now. The Reds win tonight. This is my MLB Moneyline Favorite Game of the Month.
