This is an 8* RUN-LINE DESTRUCTION on the Kansas City Royals.

While we don't think that the outright win is out of the question, we're going to recommend to grabbing the 1.5 runs of insurance. The home side sends Jake Junis (5-10, 5.03 ERA) who gave up one run off four hits with six strikeouts over four innings in a no-decision to Minnesota on Saturday. It was his first start back from the DL and he'd throw 53 of his 77 pitches for strikes. Junis now looks rested/injury-free and we think he'll return to the form which saw him throw quality outings in six of his first seven of the season, before tweaking his back. The home side goes with Sonny Gray (7-7, 5.34) who gave up three runs and three walks over 5.1 innings in what turned out to be a victory over the Mets in his first start back from the break. Gray is coming off back-to-back victories, but note that he's still a terrible 3-3 with a 7.62 ERA at home this season. KC has looked better offensively over the last month, so we expect the hungry visiting side to keep this one competitive this evening. Play on the ROYALS on the RUN-LINE.
