Miami at Kansas City

The Kansas City Royals don't spend much time as a favorite against anyone, in fact they will be favored today for just the 14th time in two years! It has not been wise to back them in this situation as they are 4-10 (28%) as a favorite. It is even rarer to see them favored against a LHP, which has only occurred once in the last two years, a loss. The reason is simple. The Royals struggle against LHP. The Royals are almost .500 against RHP, but a horrific 5-15 against LHP. The Marlins are one of those teams with not much of a home-field advantage and subsequently have played better on the road where they have been winners of 13 of their last 19. We look for them to win today and take the series.
