Royals held to a single run
The Royals suffered a 5-1 loss on Tuesday in its series opener with the Brewers. They are 2-9 in their last 11 games and have been held to 3 runs or less in eight straight. Kansas City is now 24-55 overall and 13-26 on the road. The Royals are averaging just 3.55 runs per game at the plate while giving up 5.46 per contest.
Danny Duffy is the starting pitcher for the Royals this afternoon. He has started 16 games this season and has a 3-7 record with a 5.18 ERA and a 1.51 WHIP. Duffy has pitched a total of 88.2 innings and has 76 strikeouts, but also has 44 walks.

Brent Suter will take the mound for Milwaukee this afternoon. He has started 14 games on the year and has an 8-4 record with a 4.15 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP. Suter has recorded 67 strikeouts and 17 walks over 82.1 innings this year.
MLB Betting Trends
Kansas City
The Royals are 2-9 in their last 11 road games and 5-12 in Duffy’s last 17 starts. They also have lost six straight Game 2’s in a series.
Milwaukee
The Brewers have won eight of their last 10 Wednesday games and 22 of their last 32 at home. They also have won six of Suter’s last seven starts overall and five straight starts at home.
Prediction:
Suter has been on a hot streak, winning six of his last seven starts. He has held his last seven opponents to three runs or less. That should work out perfectly against a KC team that can’t score. The Brewers aren’t known for mashing the ball, but they should be able to beat up Duffy, who has struggled all year. I think Milwaukee cruises to a comfortable win.
The Pick: Milwaukee Brewers -1.5 (+105)
