Run Line +1.5 • Kansas City Royals

Pick: Kansas City Royals +1.5 --145 — staking 4 units based on matchup balance: pitching matchup, bullpen depth, and expected run environment all point to a narrow outcome. This is a risk-managed play using a small pricing edge. The +1.5 explicitly allows the Royals to lose by one or win outright, which aligns with the projection that this game should remain within a one-run margin.
