Marlins vs Royals MLB Betting Preview
In 24 starts, Marlins right-hander Eury Perez has been quite impressive, despite a sluggish start to the season.
Perez was a very highly-touted pitching prospect coming into the Major Leagues and is finally living up to the hype, currently posting a solid 3.44 ERA on the season.
He’s been remarkably efficient, posting a 1.13 WHIP on the season across his 130.2 innings.
Since the All-Star break, opposing hitters are batting just .179 versus Miami’s youngster, and I fully expect his dominance to continue on Wednesday evening.
Like Perez, Royals’ lefty Noah Cameron had a very underwhelming first half of the season followed by a reign of dominance over the last six weeks.
Cameron has posted a 4-1 overall record since the All-Star break with a 2.35 ERA and an unbelievably efficient 0.86 WHIP.
Kansas City’s left-hander is one of the hottest pitchers in all of baseball right now, having recorded a quality start in six of his eight appearances post-All-Star break.
Both pitchers have been on fire as of late, and because of that, I think runs will come at a premium early on.
Pick: NRFI (-111, FanDuel) | F5 Under 4.5 (-108, FanDuel)
