Angels at Royals picks and predictions
Prediction
Royals 4, Angels 3
Money line
The struggling Angels are fade-worthy here considering how Syndergaard has struggled on the road and how K.C. got to him on June 20.
Greinke’s success against the Halos is also compelling as is the Royals’ recent success at home.
TAKE KANSAS CITY (-115).

Run line/Against the spread
PASS: the better value with the Kansas City side is on the money line.
