The Kansas City Royals are… winners of three straight? 

Kansas City is starting to play a little better in the second half of the MLB season, and faces a struggling Los Angeles Angels team that is still down star Mike Trout due to a rib injury. 

Los Angeles is just one game above Kansas City in the American League standings, and are 2-8 in its last 10 games. 

Jose Suarez (1-4, 5.60 ERA) tries to stop the bleeding for L.A. against Kansas City’s Angel Zerpa (2-0, 1.29 ERA). 

Here are the odds for Tuesday’s game via WynnBET

Angels vs. Royals Prediction and Pick

This will be Zerpa’s second start of the season, but he did toss five innings of one-run ball against a strong Toronto Blue Jays offense his last time out. 

Suarez, on the other hand, has failed to make it through five innings in four of his last five outings and the Angels have lost his last three starts. 

It’s truly amazing how far the Angels have fallen this season, and they’ve been the worst team in baseball over the last month. 

Los Angeles is dead last in runs scored and OPS over the last 30 days. To make matters worse, they have pitched to a 5.04 ERA, which is good for 29th in MLB. 

There is no way I’m trusting Los Angeles unless Shohei Ohtani is on the mound, so this is Kansas City or nothing for me. 

LEAN: Royals ML (-120)
