Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

The bet on Kansas City Royals is based on their strong recent home performance. Despite their overall Last 5 (L5) record being 2-3, they have won 4 out of their last 5 home games, indicating a strong home field advantage. This is further supported by their L5 home runs allowed average of 2.4, which is significantly lower than their overall runs allowed average of 4.4. This suggests they play a strong defensive game at home. Additionally, their L5 record against the Seattle Mariners is also 4-1, implying they have performed well against this specific opponent. While the Mariners have a higher L5 overall runs scored average, the Royals' defensive strength at home is likely to counter this. These factors make the Kansas City Royals a good choice for the Moneyline market.
