Kansas City Royals vs Miami Marlins Prediction
Siner has been strong this season and in his last start he was dominant. He went five innings against the Texas Rangers, he went five innings giving up only one run. The Marlins are averaging 3.51 runs, and they are going to really struggle to get the offense going here. The Royals are averaging 4.58 runs, and they are going to have no issue running up the score here. There are going to be some major nerves here from Bellozo and I’d back the Royals on the run line to cash here.
