Kansas City Royals
Fillmyer was okay in his last outing, but walked away with the no-decision as Kansas City would later go on to lose to the New York Yankees 4-5.
He went five innings giving up five hits, three earned runs, and one home run while he struck out two and walked two.
In 27.1 innings of work, Fillmyer owns a dreadful strikeout (4.94 K/9) to walk rate (3.95 BB/9), but has been respectable limiting the long ball (0.99 HR/9) and stranding base runners (75.5% LOB%).
The end-result is a misleading 3.29 ERA and a high 4.92 FIP.

Kansas City has played mediocre baseball in the past week as they were able to win three of their last six contests.
During that span their lineup is slashing .256/.328/.460 to go with 23 extra-base hits and 31 RBI.
Minnesota Twins
Odorizzi was rocked in his last outing as he was tagged with his seventh loss of the season in a 4-10 whipping by the hands of the Boston Red Sox.
He went five innings giving up nine hits, five earned runs, and one home run while he struck out five and walked one.
In 112.0 innings of work Odorizzi owns a solid strikeout (9.48 K/9) to walk rate (3.78 BB/9) while he has struggled containing the long ball (1.37 HR/9).
The end-result is a high 4.58 ERA and a similar 4.45 FIP.
Minnesota continues to play losing baseball in the past week as they could only win two of their last seven contests.
During that span their lineup is only slashing .197/.270/.278 to go with 12 extra-base hits and 15 RBI.

Free Kansas City Royals vs. Minnesota Twins MLB Prediction:
4* Free MLB Betting Pick: Twins -1.5
Odorizzi just put in a very mediocre July posting a 4.44 ERA to go with a slash line of .262/.322/.453, while Kansas City has lost in all of Fillmyer’s starts this year.
Minnesota has been terrible as of late, but when Odorizzi is this big of a favorite, then Vegas must think very lowly of Fillmyer and Kansas City.
Minnesota has been a different team at home and are 30-24 ATS at home, and I’ll be backing them to cover the run line.
