AccuScore Selection #1:

Kansas City Royals +100 (@ Chicago White Sox)
Jose Quintana vs Danny Duffy

Kansas City got a deserved victory over the White Sox yesterday, albeit a close one. The team is pumped up and we are expecting them to take one more step to beat the Sox comfortably. The oddmakers have this one down as a coin flip, but AccuScore simulations give the Royals a 58% chance to win which presents a favorable -138 in odds. Great value to double the money!

Royals are 4-0 vs the White Sox this season, 5-2 on the road and 10-3 vs an opponent with a losing record.
The White Sox are 1-6 vs an opponent with a winning record.

AccuScore Selection #2

New York Mets +123 (@ New York Yankees)
Michael Pineda vs Jacob deGrom

The Mets are so hot, it's amazing the odds have not melted down. Of course, no streak will continue forever, but in any given situation odds of +123 need to be played. The game is likely to be a close one, AccuScore simulations give Mets a 52.3% chance of winning, which is way higher than the odds indicate. For the time being, we'll have to jump on the Mets bandwagon!
