KANSAS CITY ROYALS +105 - I am carrying over my rained out play from yesterday. I cashed in with the Royals on Tuesday and may be pressing my luck by backing them again today, but the fact that they have been installed as a home underdog leaves me no choice! I will gladly take a team at + odds that is 9-0 at home and averaging 5.44 runs per home game. The Royals are also hitting an unbelievable .321 vs. right-handed pitching in this ballpark. Granted, George has been the weakest link in the starting rotation so far, but he is left-handed, and the Twins lineup is a lefty-laden lineup that generally struggles vs. southpaws. George is backed by a fine bullpen that has a group ERA of 1.77 with an outstanding ratio of 1.05. Radke has been inconsistent this season, posting a 7.84 ERA with a horrible 1.79 ratio. He had allowed at least 7 runs and 9 hits in 2 of his 4 starts, and he was hit hard the last time he faced Kansas City, allowing 5 earned runs and 11 hits in 5.2 innings.
