Brewers vs. Royals Picks
Money Line Pick for Brewers vs. Royals
- Kansas City Royals ML (4 Units)
The Royals have the edge here because they’ve been great against right-handers so far, and they’re facing Sproat, who got the early hook in his first start after giving up seven runs in three innings. He has given up at least four runs in three straight starts, so expect him to have a hard time slowing down the Royals.
Milwaukee won’t be as successful offensively because they haven’t had a lot of success when facing Lugo, who didn’t give up a run in his first start. He gave up five runs in his last two starts against the Brewers and will keep their offense in check. Take Kansas City on the money line.
Over/Under Pick for Brewers vs. Royals
- Over (4 Units)
The Brewers average 7.5 runs per game. They’re batting .301 against right-handers, and they’re facing a starter who gave up five earned runs in two starts against them last season. The Royals average 3.83 runs per game. They’re batting .265 against right-handers, and they’re facing a starter who gave up seven runs in his first start. Expect these teams to score enough points to push the score over the total. The Brewers and Royals played over the total in three of their last five meetings.
