Picks for 8/13/24
MLB
7:40 PM EST
Rotation #919-920
Royals/Twins Over 8.5 runs (win)
Lugo/Matthews
Royals starter Seth Lugo has been great this year, but he faces a Twins team with the best slugging percentage at home in baseball. The Royals bullpen can’t be trusted, so I expect the Twins to put up a few runs. Minnesota will start Zebby Matthews as he makes his MLB debut. Matthews has a big arm, but his ERA was high at the AAA level. Both team’s offenses have hit right-handed pitching well and looked good since the all-star break. Look for a high-scoring game. Take the Over.
