King me in Kaycee, then prop me up in San Antonio!
Las Vegas - Kansas City is sitting at the bottom of the A.L. Central with an ugly 28-41 record (not including last night). So why pick the Royals over the Astros? Pitching matchup baby. Kaycee sends Noah Cameron to the hill and the kid has been close to lights out the last four starts. Cameron has allowed only three earned runs over the last 24 innings which works out to a skinny 1.13 ERA. You can also throw in 27 Ks. Houston starter Mike Burrows has been struggling, allowing 35 hits and 22 earned runs over a 28 inning stretch. That's a 7.07 ERA and that's why we're rocking the Royals.
Bouncing on to the NBA hardwood for a look at game five tonight in San Antonio. We are still tingling after the game four shocker, and as usual, there is no pick on this game. But we do have a prop for you, and it's Landry Shamet Over 6.5 points. Looked at Shamet's work in the first four games and here is what jumped off the stat page. In the last two games at Madison Square Garden, Shamet played 23 minutes and scored three points in game three, then played 21 minutes and ate a bagel with zero points in game four. Different story in the first two games in San Antonio. In the opener, Landry played 33 minutes and scored 13 points, then played 30 minutes and scored 13 points in game two. Gimme Shamet Over 6.5 points for the money.
