Moneyline • Kansas City Royals

The Royals feel like the sensible play — not flashy, just steady; that’s often underrated in daily baseball betting. The Guardians can surprise, sure, but consistency at home and bullpen reliability give Kansas City the edge here. Since there’s no traditional spread on this pick, read the moneyline as the market’s expectation: it implies a narrow margin and a game likely decided by one or two key innings.
