#970 ASA PLAY ON Kansas City Royals -125 over Boston Red Sox, Tuesday at 8:10 PM ET - The Royals have a significant pitching edge here with Seth Lugo over Brayan Bello in this one. Lugo is 13-5 this season with opponents hitting only .217 against him. Lugo has given up 2 earned runs or less in 7 of last 9 starts and allowed a total of only 8 earned runs in those 7 strong starts! Bello had an 8.25 ERA in June and had a 4.97 ERA over his last 5 starts in July. Boston is off B2B wins but has not won more than 2 in a row since early July. Prior to these back to back wins, the Red Sox had lost 9 of 14 games. Kansas City had won 15 of 22 games prior to yesterday's 9-5 loss to the Red Sox. Kansas City is 36-23 this season in home games. We like the value of the home team here off a loss and with the starting pitching edge. It is strengthened by the fact that KC had been the hotter team than the Red Sox in recent weeks entering this series. The home team is the bet in this one.
