Kansas City Royals DFS SPIN
Maikel Garcia went 0-for-4 against the Royals on Tuesday and is in a 12-for-59 slump in his last 15 games. Garcia twice grounded into double plays tonight, so give him credit for six of the Royals’ 27 outs in this one. He’s still hitting the ball pretty hard, but he just hasn’t had much luck lately. He’s also not drawing any walks, so maybe the Royals ought to slide him out of the leadoff spot.
Cleveland Guardians DFS SPIN
Bo Naylor homered twice off the Royals’ Zack Greinke in the Guardians’ victory Tuesday. Naylor’s three at-bats tonight all produced hard-hit flyballs. The Guardians have been batting him ninth, and perhaps rightly so, but he should be moving up before long. He has four homers and 11 RBI in his 18 starts since being called up.

Royals vs. Guardians MLB BETTING PREDICTION
I took the under in the first two games of this series, but I’m flipping the script in the finale. Rookies Alec Marsh and Gavin Williams will start for their respective teams today and neither have been great. Marsh is still in search of his first major league win, as he’s posted a 0-4 record and 6.20 ERA to date. While Williams does have one win, it came against the Royals on July 8 but it’s his lone victory in five starts. Kansas City’s offense isn’t good, but it can produce home runs when it’s on. If it’s on today, I see a high-scoring game at Progressive Field.
