Trends

Colorado is 2-6 in their last 8 Game one’s of a series and 0-4 in their last 4 Games. The under is 6-0-1 in Colorado’s last 7 Friday Games. Kansas City is 9-23 in their last 32 Friday Games and 6-21 in their last 27 Game one’s of a series. The under is 4-0 in Kansas City’s last 4 Games. Colorado is 3-8 in these two teams last 11 head to head meetings.

Pick

Both of these teams have struggled this season, but Kansas City has one one of the worst records in baseball. The Royals are starting Jordan Lyles, who has been awful this year. Lyles has allowed 26 earned runs over his last five starts (26.1 IP). Colorado is starting Chase Anderson, who has allowed three earned runs over three starts since being acquired from Tampa Bay. I cannot back Lyles with how he has pitched, so I am taking the Rockies in this matchup.
