Astros vs. Royals Game 1 Pick
The Royals are 6-1 in Yordano Ventura’s last seven home starts and they’ll pitch him tonight in Kansas City when they host the Houston Astros for Game 1 of the ALDS at 7:30PM ET.
According to oddsmakers from online sports book Mybookie.ag, the Royals are -137 money line favorites over the Astros, who are +126 money line underdogs to pull off the upset. The total is currently sitting at 7.5 runs.
Houston celebrated a win over the Yankees on Tuesday and deservedly so. Ventura has pitched better as of late, allowing just one run in his last two starts. He gave up just one run in his only start against the Astros in July.
Ventura faces Colin McHugh, who has been good as of late. Both pitchers will keep this low-scoring.
