AccuScore Selection #1:

Kansas City Royals +110 (@ Cleveland Indians)
Danny Salazar vs Yordano Ventura

The Royals don’t only have the upper hand in the series, but also in quality of pitching and batting. Not much else to hope for. The visitors are looking for the 3rd consecutive win at Cleveland – never an easy task. But since the oddsmakers have set such a tempting offer, it can’t be overlooked. AccuScore supercomputer predicts KC to win 56% of 10 000 simulations, which would add up to odds of -127. Great value for the surprising underdog!

Royals are 7-4 on the road and 6-0 as road underdogs. Ventura starts with a record of 3-1.
The Indians are 1-6 at home, 1-5 as home favorites and 3-8 vs an opponent with winning record.

AccuScore Selection #2

Toronto Blue Jays +125 (@ Boston Red Sox)
Rick Porcello vs R.A.Dickey

We predicted that the Red Sox’ pitching troubles were successfully dealt with. Oh how wrong we were! It seems that the Red Sox are handing out wins here and there and pitching definitely played a great part last night in Blue Jays’ impressive 11 runs with 17 hits. The AccuScore supercomputer sees no reason for the trend to stop and sets Toronto as 53.6% favorites as opposed to oddsmakers 46.9%. Odds of -115 or better would be playable so +125 offers great value.

EXTRA QUICK BET

Detroit Tigers -102 (@ Minnesota Twins)
Phil Hughes vs Shane Green

Well what do you know, the Detroit Tigers seem undervalued again. The game starts already in an hour, but something worth highlighting. In AccuScore simulations Detroit is set as 59.2% favorites, which would set the odds at -145. Good team, good value pick.
