(MLB) Royals (KAN) vs. Nationals (WAS),
Money Line: -164.00 Royals (KAN) (Away)
Result: Win
I think the day off will really help the Royals. Its the final week of the regular season and KC is fighting for a playoff spot. The Royals have been outscored 11-0 their last 2 games but here is that exact situation.
Since 2016 teams are 24-3 as an away favorite off back-to-back shutout losses.
Cole Ragans will get the nod on Tuesday evening. Ragans was outstanding in his previous outing, holding Detroit to one run in seven innings, resulting in a no-decision in a game the Royals lost. The veteran has been dominant, issuing a 1.42 ERA this month, and is having a great season, posting a solid 3.24 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP accompanied by an 11-9 record in 180.1 innings.
Take KC on Tuesday night to get the win.
