(937) Kansas City Royals at (938) Baltimore Orioles
Corbin Burnes is the bigger name in this starting pitching matchup, but do not sleep on lefthander Cole Ragans of Kansas City. Ragans has been in excellent form over his last 4 starts while recording a 1.08 ERA and averaging 6.3 innings pitched per outing. Additionally, the Kansas City bullpen has been lights out over their last 7 games while posting a staff 0.31 ERA/0.79 WHIP.
Although Corbin Burnes has been in superb form over his last 3 starts, I do not trust the Baltimore bullpen right now that has a staff 5.52 ERA over their previous 7 games. Furthermore, this will be only the 3rd postseason start for Burnes, including his lone outing last year at home versus Arizona when he allowed 4 earned runs in 4.0 innings pitched.
Give me the Kansas City Royals for a money line underdog wager.
