#913 ASA PLAY ON Baltimore Orioles -135 over Kansas City Royals, Friday at 7:40 PM ET - The Royals are off to a solid start this season just like the Orioles. However, couple of key differences here.  First off, Baltimore is coming off a big season and plays in a tougher division while KC generally struggles and plays in, arguably, the weakest division in MLB.  Secondly, the key here is who KC has played in their 12-7 start. Kansas City has won 3 series against the Astros and White Sox (twice). However, Chicago and Houston enter tonight's games with a combined 9-29 record.  The Royals are 9-1 in their 10 games against those struggling clubs. However, they have had 3 other series including at Baltimore, and they went a combined 3-6 and lost every single one of those series. The Orioles enter this series having won 4 straight games and those were at home BUT they also have won 3 straight on the road!  Baltimore has scored  6.3 runs per game last 9 games.  The Royals have had one huge game at the plate in their last 6 games but have scored an average of only 1.8 runs in the other 5 games!  Kremer off a tough start but had been solid in his first two while Marsh has struggled in each of his last two starts. Lay it with the road team here!  Orioles get the call in this one Friday.
