MLB Betting Trends
Milwaukee
The Brewers have won five straight over a right-handed starter and they are 16-6 in their last 22 road games. However, their win last night snapped a five-game losing streak in interleague play.
Kansas City
The Royals are 1-11 in their last 12 games against a right-handed starter. They are also 2-8 in their last 10 games following a loss and 0-5 in their last five against NL Central opponents.
Prediction:
The Brewers are rolling right now and the Royals definitely are not. KC doesn’t have any type of home-field advantage. Their pitching is actually worse at home. I think the Brewers should be able to continue to beat up the KC pitching and add to their win streak.
The Pick: Milwaukee Brewers -130
