Free MLB Picks: Cardinals at Royals

The Royals return home after beating Stephen Strasburgh and the Nationals 1-0 Wednesday and will be rested with their ace on the hill, Zack Greinke. This is a huge mismatch on the mound with Greinke vs. newly acquired Cardinals pitcher Jeff Suppan. Like our winner yesterday on the White Sox with Gavin Floyd, Zach Greinke has little to show for his efforts with just two victories this season. The reigning American League Cy Young award winner still has some solid peripherals with 83 K’s and 18 walks in 96 innings and a WHIP of 1.20. His last two starts were on the road against two top-10 offenses, and Greinke struck out 17 batters with zero walks and allowed just 11 hits in 16 innings. His teammates will be primed to reward their ace and the Royals bats have a MLB best batting average (.280). KC hitters will no doubt have success against Suppan, who is making his third start for the Cardinals after pitching just four innings each his first two outings against two weak hitting lineups.

Before being released by the Brewers, Suppan had a BAA of .372 and WHIP near 2.0. Also note the Royals were crushed by the Cardinals by at least five runs in a series sweep last year in Kansas City. The Royals will be ready, and the Cardinals remain the most overvalued team in the betting marketplace. Of all the MLB teams with a winning record, St. Louis has lost their betting backers the most money this season. St. Louis was shut out at Toronto 5-0 Thursday and now travel again to face one of the American Leagues best pitchers. Situation sets up nicely for the Royals to romp and we’ll play Kansas City on the run line at a nice plus price.
