The Kansas City Royals attempt to break out of a sudden funk when they open a four-game series against the visiting Seattle Mariners on Thursday. Kansas City scored just three runs while enduring a three-game sweep at the hands of the Baltimore Orioles but still holds a one-half game lead over Tampa Bay for the American League's second wild-card spot.

The Royals won 10 of 11 games before the bats went quiet against the Orioles as the club recorded just five hits in each of the three defeats. "We definitely didn't hit the ball well in this series," third baseman Mike Moustakas, who slammed three homers in a three-game series against Seattle in July, told reporters. "They pitched the ball great and we just didn't have any offense going." Seattle, which trails the Royals by 1 1/2 games, had its four-game winning streak halted with Wednesday's 5-1 loss to Texas. Robinson Cano is 7-for-17 with seven RBIs over his last four contests for the Mariners and 7-for-14 with one homer and three doubles against scheduled Kansas City starter Trevor Cahill.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Mariners RH Yovani Gallardo (5-7, 5.34 ERA) vs. Royals RH Trevor Cahill (4-3, 4.15)

Gallardo defeated the New York Mets in his last turn as he gave up one run and five hits over 5 2/3 innings. The 31-year-old is making his third start since returning from a demotion to the bullpen. Gallardo is 1-1 with a 3.79 ERA in four career appearances (three starts) versus the Royals and has struggled against Melky Cabrera (5-for-11) while shutting down Brandon Moss (1-for-12).

Cahill is making his second start with Kansas City after being acquired from San Diego. He was touched for five runs and eight hits over four innings in his team debut against Boston but escaped with a no-decision. Cahill is 5-4 with a 3.45 ERA in 12 career starts against Seattle, with his most recent appearance coming in 2012 while with Arizona.

WALK-OFFS

1. Mariners DH Nelson Cruz, who leads the AL with 80 RBIs, is just 4-for-23 lifetime versus Cahill.

2. Kansas City CF Lorenzo Cain (hamstring) hopes to return after sitting out on Wednesday.

3. Seattle LHP James Paxton (6-0 in July) was named AL Pitcher of the Month and RHP Edwin Diaz (eight saves) was voted AL Reliever of the Month.

PREDICTION: Royals 4, Mariners 2

Aug 3, 2017


The Los Angeles Angels look for their fifth victory in six contests when they conclude their three-game interleague series against the visiting Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday. Los Angeles defeated the Phillies for the 11th consecutive time with Wednesday's 7-0 victory and have won the first two games of the set by a cumulative 14-1 score.

The Angels' recent surge has allowed them to move within three games of Kansas City for the American League's second wild-card spot. Superstar Mike Trout hit his 20th homer in Wednesday's victory while Albert Pujols (608) remains one blast behind Sammy Sosa for eighth place on the all-time list. Philadelphia was limited to six singles in Wednesday's loss, which dropped it to 16-38 on the road this season. The hot-hitting Cesar Hernandez has recorded two hits for the Phillies in five straight games and six of his last seven, and is batting .433 during the stretch.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Phillies RH Jerad Eickhoff (2-7, 4.56 ERA) vs. Angels RH Parker Bridwell (5-1, 2.83)

Eickhoff has won his last two decisions after losing his first seven of the campaign. The 27-year-old did not factor in the decision against Atlanta in his last turn after giving up three runs - one earned - and five hits over five innings. Eickhoff is 0-5 with a 5.36 ERA in eight road starts this season and 7-14 with a 4.26 ERA in 29 career outings away from home.

Bridwell, who turned 26 years old on Wednesday, excelled in July by going 3-0 with a 1.69 ERA in four starts. He defeated Toronto in his last turn, allowing one run and three hits over a career-high 7 1/3 innings. Bridwell has walked 13 batters in 54 frames, with eight of the free passes coming in two outings.

WALK-OFFS

1. Angels OF Cameron Maybin (knee) ran the bases on Wednesday and could begin a rehab assignment later this week.

2. Philadelphia OF Aaron Altherr (hamstring) missed Wednesday's game and could sit again on Thursday.

3. Los Angeles 3B Yunel Escobar (back) sat out on Wednesday and is questionable for the series finale.

PREDICTION: Los Angeles 8, Philadelphia 3

The Oakland Athletics attempt to secure bragging rights when they visit the San Francisco Giants on Thursday for the finale of this year's Bay Bridge Series. Oakland has won two of the first three contests in the home-and-home matchup, including a 6-1 triumph on Wednesday that gave the club four wins in its last five overall games.

Ryon Healy belted his career-high 20th home run in the victory to join Khris Davis (28) and Yonder Alonso (22) as the only members of the Athletics to reach the plateau this season. While Oakland halted its four-game slide on the road, San Francisco suffered its fifth loss in six overall contests on Wednesday. The Giants managed only five hits in the setback after collecting 14 in a 10-4 victory one night earlier. Gorkys Hernandez drove in the lone run for San Francisco but saw his six-game hitting streak - during which he went 9-for-22 - come to an end.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Athletics RH Kendall Graveman (2-2, 3.83 ERA) vs. Giants LH Ty Blach (6-7, 4.38)

Graveman returns from a lengthy absence due to right shoulder inflammation to make his first start since May 19. The 26-year-old native of Alabama has gone six starts without a victory after winning his first two turns of the season despite allowing fewer than three runs in four of the outings. Graveman has yet to defeat San Francisco, going 0-1 with an ugly 11.37 ERA in two career starts.

Blach has worked seven innings in each of his last three outings but is 0-2 during that span, even though he gave up fewer than three runs on two occasions. The 26-year-old from Colorado was tagged for five runs and eight hits in a loss to San Diego in his last home start on July 23. Blach, who will be facing Oakland for the first time, has served up just one home run in 33 1/3 frames over his last five turns.

WALK-OFFS

1. Athletics 2B Jed Lowrie bounced back from Tuesday's 0-for-4 performance with two hits, making him 8-for-21 over his last five contests.

2. San Francisco C Buster Posey was hitless in four at-bats Wednesday after going 5-for-8 with three RBIs over the first two games of the series.

3. Oakland recalled 1B Marck Canha from Triple-A Nashville and optioned RHP Michael Brady to the Sounds.

HOF Betting Notes - Cowboys vs. Cardinals

Dallas Cowboys

Head Coach: Jason Garrett

Quarterback Rotation: Dak Prescott, Kellen Moore, Luke McCown, Cooper Rush (Rookie - Central Michigan)

The Cowboys have never put much stock into the preseason under Garrett since he took over officially as head coach in 2011. In the last three years, Dallas has compiled a dreadful 2-10 SU and 4-8 ATS mark in exhibition action, while allowing at least 27 points in three of four preseason games in 2016.

Dak Prescott was the preseason story in 2016 before and after Tony Romo suffered a back injury at Seattle in Week 3. Prescott likely won't see much action on Thursday, opening the door for former Boise State standout Kellen Moore.

Arizona Cardinals

Head Coach: Bruce Arians

Quarterback Rotation: Blaine Gabbert, Trevor Knight (Rookie - Texas A&M)

The Cardinals won't be showing much in Canton as Arians will sit his starters, including quarterback Carson Palmer. Past Palmer, backup QB Drew Stanton will also be watching from the sidelines as former 49ers' signal-caller Blaine Gabbert will play the first half and rookie Trevor Knight will take second half snaps.

Arizona didn't put much stock into last year's preseason by losing its first three games prior to a victory over Denver in the finale. The Cardinals have been a terrific 'over' play the last two preseasons by compiling a 7-1 mark.

Thursday's Best Bet
August 3, 2017

Thursday NFL Best Bet
Dallas Cowboys vs. Arizona Cardinals

Tonight marks the unofficial start of NFL Football being back in the sports betting landscape as the 2017 NFL Hall of Fame game “hopefully” kicks off this evening. I say “hopefully” because last year's Hall of Fame game was cancelled due to poor field conditions thanks to congealing paint, but I'm sure 365 days later, the NFL has it sorted out this time.

This year's game will be only the 2nd time since 1997 that the Hall of Fame game doesn't feature an AFC team vs a NFC team, and oddly enough the other time it occurred was back in 2012 when the Arizona Cardinals were also involved (lost 17-10 to New Orleans). In the grand scheme of things that's really nothing more than an interesting anecdote, as their isn't a whole lot to take away from the teams playing in the first preseason game of the year.

You are going to see the starters for one or two series' at most (we aren't going to really see any starters from Arizona tonight) and the rest of the time it's guys at the bottom of the depth chart trying to impress the coaching staff enough to potentially earn a roster spot by the end of the month.

So on one hand, while countless NFL fans are through the moon excited that NFL football is finally back tonight, if you go into the Hall of Fame game expecting quality football you'll be greatly disappointed. Probably about 60% of the guys you see on the field won't even make the field come September, and as bettors it's important to not go crazy with unit sizes on these early preseason games.

BetDSI.eu Odds: Dallas (-1); Total set at 35

While handicapping the individual teams involved in the Hall of Fame game may be tough given there is no consistency in knowing who to expect on the field for each side, there are trends for the Hall of Fame game that can be a good starting point.

Before we get there though, Arizona has already stated that third string QB Blaine Gabbert will get the first half and rookie fourth string QB Trevor Knight will get the second half. Even with the minimal talent those guys may have at this level, knowing they are getting a full half of playing time has to give them some level of comfort, and Gabbert has been a starter for significant periods of time in this league before. With Dallas trotting out their four QB's from 1-4 on the depth chart for some time tonight, and the Cowboys never really caring about the preseason under HC Jason Garrett, I believe the edge right there has to go to the Cardinals.

Regarding trends specific to the Hall of Fame game, we typically see low scoring games and the 'under' has gone 4-1 the last five years it was played. However, just like this year's game features that odd anecdote of Arizona being involved in another NFC vs. NFC game here, that lone 'over' the past five years was the last time the Dallas Cowboys showed up to Canton, Ohio to play in this contest. Tonight's total has already seen significant support on the 'under' which is never a surprise in this game, but I'm actually looking to go the other way and here's why:

Preseason games are when journeymen QB's get to see their most action all year and they are out to prove they deserve a roster spot as a backup somewhere. I've already touched on Gabbert being involved tonight and you know he'd love to stick around on a 53-man roster, but Dallas has their own backup QB “battle” with Kellen Moore being tested by Luke McCown. Both of those guys (along with Gabbert for that matter) would love to put up some solid numbers tonight against shell-like defenses to help improve their standing within the organization.

Furthermore, after last year's game got cancelled, I think everyone involved in this year's game would prefer to give the fans a little action to cheer about and a few more points on the scoreboard then they usually see here. The entire situation was bungled from the NFL's perspective and in order to bring some of those slighted fans back this year, putting out a more entertaining game has to be the goal.

Maybe that's why they went with two teams from the same conference again (more familiarity), and you know Bookmaker wouldn't mind seeing the scoreboard get lit up – relatively speaking – because they know there are plenty of NFL bettors out there that view the 'under' on the Hall of Fame game as basically free money.

I've got to believe that with this year's game setting up the way it is (year after cancelled game, QB's having more defined plan of playing time, NFC vs NFC) we see quite a few different things then what many have gotten used to in the Hall of Fame game.
