Trends

The under is 8-3 in Guardians last 11 Wednesday games. The over is 4-1 in Royals last 5 overall. The Guardians are 22-9 in the last 31 meetings in Kansas City and 43-20 in the last 63 meetings.

Randy’s Pick

The Kansas City Royals have been fade material all season and that will continue as they can’t string together offense and can’t finish games. It doesn’t help that Austin Cox has just 12.1 career big league innings under his belt. Logan Allen has been respectable with his 3.68 ERA, and the Guardians need to take advantage of games like this to chip away in the standings. Give me the road team.
