Kansas City Royals at Los Angeles Angels odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Kansas City Royals at Los Angeles Angels odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Kansas City Royals (25-42) and Los Angeles Angels (33-38) put a lid on a 3-game series at Angel Stadium. Wednesday’s series finale is slated for a 9:49 p.m. ET first pitch. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Royals vs. Angels odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Kansas City leads 2-0.

The Royals are 5-1 in their last 6 games and a respectable 8-5 in their last 13. Kansas City had a season-high 9 extra-base hits in Tuesday’s 12-11 win over Los Angeles.

The Angels sport a fine .744 OPS in their last 14 games at home. But the Halos are just 2-12 over that span and their ERA in those 14 games is 4.95.

Run line/Against the spread

The Royals could be due some road fatigue, and Ohtani at home makes for some leverage. BACK THE ANGELS -1.5 (-108).

Over/Under

Neither offense has been all that strong of late, and both starters have expected-ERA numbers outpacing their surface figures.

TAKE THE UNDER 8.5 (-120).

Kansas City Royals at Los Angeles Angels odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Kansas City Royals at Los Angeles Angels odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Kansas City Royals (23-43) visit the Los Angeles Angels (33-36) for a 3-game series at Angel Stadium. Monday’s series opener is slated for a 9:38 p.m. ET first pitch. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Royals vs. Angels odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Los Angeles leads 4-2.

The Royals are 3-1 in their last 4 games and a respectable 6-5 in their last 11. Over the larger span, Kansas City has logged a solid 3.84 ERA.

The Angels took 4 of 5 from the Seattle Mariners Thursday-Sunday. L.A. earned shutout victories in the last 2 games of that series. For the season, the Halos have allowed 4.06 runs per game; since June 6, they’ve yielded just 3.14 RPG.

Royals at Angels projected starters

LHP Kris Bubic vs. RHP Noah Syndergaard

Royals at Angels picks and predictions

Prediction

Royals 4, Angels 3

Money line

Bubic, who was sent down to Triple-A Omaha in mid-May and recalled in early June, has been undone in part by a 16.7% of fly balls landing as home runs and a .345 batting average on balls in play. He exhibited more zip on his fastball last game and has shown signs of getting more first-pitch strikes and balls hit on the ground.

Add in the way the Royals have played overall of late and the fact that L.A. is swung around to the lesser side of its platoon splits against a port-sider, and KANSAS CITY (+160) is the play.

Run line/Against the spread

If you like the Royals to win, which I do, you have to TAKE K.C. +1.5 (-130).

Over/Under

The Royals have played in 5 straight Unders. In the last 6 Los Angeles games where the Halos are lined as a favorite, the Under is 6-0. The Under is 5-2-1 in the last 8 Royals-Angels meetings in Los Angeles.

With a little lean toward Bubic and perhaps Syndegaard’s home cooking numbers — and with the Angel offense struggling this month (.591 OPS) — TAKE THE UNDER 8.5 (+100).
