2-0 yesterday, with Taijuan Walker continuing to be a cash cow.
Small, but not too small:
KC TT over 2.5 (+100) F5 Giants starter, Mason Black, has benefitted from pitching in pitcher friendly parks for the most part. He has still struggled, just as he did in the minors. KC is on a losing streak, mostly due to some really good Tiger pitching. But the Royals also had some untimely hitting during this streak, not a team-wide slump. Like that top half of the KC lineup.
LA Dodgers TT over 2.5 (-145) F5 Ohtani is in the zone, but the bottom of the Dodgers' lineup is also hitting well, as is Freeman and Muncy. Only Betts and Lux seem to be slumping a bit. Freeland has a nice run of 4-5 good starts, but I think he regresses to his mean here. Throws a lot of fastballs and sinkers that hitters can tee off on. Freeland also surprisingly has pitched better at Coors this year, and much worse on the road. ??? Freeland just doesn't have enough movement on his pitches to make me think he holds LA to under 3 runs.
