Royals vs Angels Preview, Prediction
The odds are a bit high on the Royals' Bobby Witt, considering the matchup.
Angels' starter Yusei Kikuchi has been one of the top matchups for righty power for years, and while he's been better this season, he's been crushed since the All-Star break.
I have the true odds on Witt around +350 today to hit a home run, making this a great bet.
Pick: Bobby Witt Home Run (+430)
