MLB Tuesday Preview & Free Pick- Kansas City Royals at New York Mets - Handicappers Hideaway

The Kansas City Royals will make a quick stop at Citi Field this Tuesday
night for the first of a two-game interleague matchup against the New
York Mets. Game time is set for 7:10 p.m. and BetAnySports has
listed the Royals as +176 road underdogs with the money line on New
York set at -186. The betting line for the total in this game has been
set at 7.



Kansas City has been hot lately with eight wins in its last nine games
including an important three-game sweep of Cleveland last week followed
by a 3-1 series win against Detroit this past weekend. The Royals are
now 38-31 on the year and just a half game in back of the Indians in the
AL Central Division race. They have had their issues on the road this
season at 13-23 and the total has stayed UNDER in five of their last
seven road games.



It will be starter Ian Kennedy’s turn in the rotation for Kansas City on
Tuesday night. The right-hander is 5-5 on the year through 13 prior
starts and his current ERA stands at 4.17 with a 1.24 WHIP. Kennedy
lasted 6.2 innings his last time out after giving-up four earned runs on
five hits. Two of those hits went for home runs but he still hung on to
get the win behind some solid run support.



New York has dropped six of its last 10 games including three straight
losses to Atlanta this past weekend after closing as a solid home
favorite on BetAnySports’ MLB betting line
in all three games. The Mets are now 36-32 on the year and six games in
back of Washington in the NL East. They are 17-16 at Citi Field this
season and the total has stayed UNDER in four of their last six home
games.



Look for Noah Syndergaard to get the start for New York in this one. The
right-hander improved to 7-2 on the year with last week’s 11-2 romp
over Pittsburgh in which the Mets closed as -160 home favorites with
BetAnySports. He allowed just one earned run on five hits in 8.1 innings
of work. He also tallied 11 strikeouts against the Pirates and going
back over his last seven starts he has fanned at least nine batters in
four of those outings. Syndergaard has a stellar 1.91 ERA this season
and a 0.96 WHIP.



Kansas City is the hotter team, but I am going with New York in this one
behind an equally hot starter. Bet on the Royals’ struggles on the road
continuing against Syndergaard this Tuesday night.
