MLB Odds: Royals-Angels pick, odds and prediction

The Kansas City Royals are 24-42 on the year and are all but eliminated from the postseason. Los Angeles Angels are 33-37 on this year, ten games back of first place in the AL West. FD Sportsbook offers new users up to $1000 back in Free Bets if they don't win their first bet.

Jonathan Heasley will start for the Royals against the Angels. Los Angeles hasn't scored more than five runs in a game since June 10th and they've scored two or less runs four of their last eight games. The Royals are a home favorite. Los Angels has covered in 11 of 27 games when they entered the game as a favorite and has been terrible in similar situations.

The Royals and the Angels are playing a game at home. Reid Detmers has a 4.25 ERA and a 1.08 WHIP on the season. Kansas City has been significantly worse when they face a left-handed pitcher this year. The Royals have been a much worse offensive team when playing on away from home, so they will benefit from playing in front of their home fans.

Neither side of the spread looks great here. The under is the best pick on the board.
