After a brief 24-hour hiatus the Best Bets series is back! We came out of Monday on a high note. We split the official plays 1-1, but we nearly swept the fun plays, clawing back some much-needed profit. Logan Webb and the San Francisco Giants continue to be a cash cow for us, locking down a win after a long rain delay. Both the Los Angeles Angels and the New York Yankees couldn’t get anything going on offense in the first half of their matchup. They headed into the top of the 6th at 0-0. Unfortunately for us, we needed at least a one-run lead from the Angels, so this one ended up losing.

On to Today’s Best Bets!
Tigers @ Royals
For our first play of today, we travel to Kauffman Stadium where the Detroit Tigers take on the Kansas City Royals. This is the third game of their four-game series, and so far things have been close. The two previous games were decided by just one run each. Today the Tigers have the edge in the pitching department. Their ace, Eduardo Rodriguez, will face off against the middling Ryan Yarbrough. Rodriguez will look to continue his Cy Young-caliber season and secure a much-needed win against the division-rival Royals.
The Pick: SGP Eduardo Rodriguez Over 5.5 Ks & F5 Alt Run Line: Tigers +1.5 (+100) 1U
Fun Pick: 1+ Hit Parlay Spencer Torkelson + Eric Haase (-109) 0.25u
Lots of eyes on Tigers LHP Eduardo Rodríguez in KC tonight, as he makes his 3rd start since returning from the IL.
Rodríguez is one of the top starting pitcher trade candidates in @MLB this year. His 2.70 ERA ranks 4th in the Majors among those with 70+ IP.@MLBNetwork
