Kansas City Royals
Fillmyer was roughed up a bit in his last outing but got the no-decision in a 5-6 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays.
He went five innings giving up five hits, four earned runs, and one home run while he struck out three and walked five.
In 42.1 innings of work this season, Fillmyer owns a weak 5.10 K/9, an ugly 4.68 BB/9, a solid 0.85 HR/9, and a solid 75.4% LOB%.
The end-result is a misleading 3.61 ERA and a high 4.95 FIP meaning luck and defense has helped his ERA.

Free Kansas City Royals vs Chicago White Sox MLB Prediction: Chicago edges out Kansas City at home
4* Free MLB Betting Pick: OVER 9 Runs
Fillmyer owns an ugly 4.96 ERA on the road with a slash line of .270/.370/.452, while righties are hitting .263/.317/.453 against him.
Lopez does have a nice 3.73 ERA at home, but he struggles against righties as well owning a weak slash line of .264/.339/.466 so expect to see righties stacked in both lineups.
Its hard to choose between either squad, but I’ll back the over in this outing.
