KC/Oak - "The A's (.654 July OPS) and Royals (.679 July OPS) are among the bottom-five offenses for OPS this month. Both pitchers are coming off a 5 1/3-inning performance in which they allowed more runs than they were charged with, but should approach quality starts here thanks to the favorable matchup." The Royals have taken the first two games, however, and have hit 4 HR already. Reading this about Bannister, "My ball had a little more life and action to it" gives me confidence that he might be starting to turn things back around. Considering the Royals are going for their first sweep in Oakland in 20 years, and their bats have shown signs of life lately, I like the Royals as an underdog of +125. Plus, Bannister’s ERA is almost 2 runs lower during the day this year. Don't take the pick as an endorsement for Gallagher to pitch badly, however, I just think this represents great value for a team that is possibly starting to heat up vs. a team that hasn't really scored any runs lately.
Yesterday's Results 2-3 (1-0 on strong endorsements)
