Kansas City Royals
Sparkman was so-so in his first start of the season picking up the no-decision in a 6-2 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays.
He went four innings giving up four hits and two earned runs while he struck out three and walked one.
In 20.0 innings of work this season, the youngster owns a mediocre 7.65 K/9, a slightly high 3.60 BB/9, a solid 0.90 HR/9, and a bleak 71.9% LOB%.
The end-result is a high 4.95 ERA and a lower 4.11 FIP meaning luck and defense has hurt his ERA.

Kansas City has played sub-par baseball in the past week winning three of their seven contests.
During that span their lineup is slashing .259/.328/.443 to go with 22 extra-base hits and 31 RBI.
Tampa Bay Rays
Snell was efficient in his last outing as he was able to pick up his 14th win of the season in a 3-1 victory over the New York Yankees.
He went five scoreless-innings giving up just two hits while he struck out six and walked one.
In 133.0 innings of work this season, the lefty owns a solid 10.08 K/9, a decent 3.38 BB/9, a solid 0.88 HR/9, and an excellent 87.4% LOB%.
The end-result is a shiny 2.10 ERA while his FIP sits at 3.34 meaning luck and defense has made his ERA shine.
Tampa Bay has played mediocre baseball in the past week winning three of their six contests.
During that span their lineup is slashing .208/.296/.349 to go with 17 extra-base hits and 17 RBI.

4* Free MLB Betting Pick: Rays -1.5 & Royals UNDER Team Total
This one is going to come down to the pitching matchup, and I have no reason to believe that with the way Snell has been pitching that he will struggle much against this bleak Kansas City lineup.
Tampa Bay should get some separation once Kansas City’s weak bullpen factors into the contest.
