When: Monday, June 6, 2016, 7:05pm Eastern time Where: Oriole Park at Camden Yards, Baltimore TV: FSKC, MASN Radio: Baltimore / Kansas City Live Stream: MLB.tv MLB Odds: Baltimore at -116 Pitching Matchup: Yordano Ventura (4-3, 4.82 ERA) (KC) vs Ubaldo Jimenez (2-6, 6.59 ERA) (BAL)

Why should you bet on Kansas City?

The Royals do have the better of the starting pitching matchup in Tuesday’s game. The Orioles send Ubaldo Jimenez to the hill, and while he did pitch four no-hit innings against Boston in his last start, he gave up a hit in the fifth and did not even record an out in the sixth, permitting five runs. The Royals start Yordano Ventura, who has been up-and- down but did give the team 6+ innings with a lead against the Indians on Thursday. Ventura did beat Baltimore on April 24 of this season.

Why should you put your money on the Orioles?

The Royals have fallen off the table offensively — in their four game sweep by the Tribe, they lost by a combined score of 25-6, and 20-2 in the last three games. Baltimore also comes off a huge momentum-building win, posting a three-run rally late to overtake the Yankees in their 3-1 win. The fact that the rally occurred against Aroldis Chapman, with his 100+ mph fastball, should give them even more confidence — for at eam already leading the division, this could be the start of a dominant streak.

Expert Betting Pick and Final Prediction

As spotty as the Royals’ offense has been of late, the pitching of Ubaldo Jimenez could easily give them the looks they need to find some more confidence. I’m predicting a 5-2 Kansas City win.
