Kansas City Royals @ Los Angeles Dodgers
Los Angeles carries the best arm on the board: Tarik Skubal pairs a 2.81 ERA with a 2.75 FIP in agreement, a 0.92 WHIP and a 10.69 strikeouts per nine, a clear tier above Noah Cameron (4.37 ERA, a tidier 3.79 FIP), with the Dodgers at plus-138 against a minus-110 Royals club. The caveat: the price on Los Angeles is very steep and the Dodgers are ice cold at 2-8, so the run line and the low total are better value than laying the flat moneyline.
