MLB Baseball Playoffs Free Pick – Game 2: KC vs. Baltimore
Right now we hold an abysmal 2-9 record in this year’s post season so fade us if you like.
Today we are on the UNDER Royals vs. Orioles regardless of who starts for Baltimore Saturday. Baltimore has not announced whether it will be Bud Norris or Wei-Yin Chen.
The later had an especially rough outing his last start in the post season to Detroit and we would anticipate he will bounce back should he start in this game.
Norris allowed a run on four hits over 7 1/3 innings in his lone regular-season start against the Royals.
The Royals RH Yordano Ventura Ventura faced Baltimore twice during the regular season and went 1-1 while yielding a total of two runs and striking out 17 in 14 1/3 frames. He has a 1.29 ERA in this year’s post season.
This overall series between the two clubs over the last 10 has mostly gone UNDER.
The UNDER is 7-1 in Ventura's last 8 starts with the total set at 7.0-8.5, 10-2-1 in Venturas last 13 starts vs. a team with a winning record, 5-2-1 in Venturas last 8 road starts and 7-3-1 in Venturas last 11 starts overall.
The UNDER is 9-4 in Norris' last 13 home starts.
