Jack's Free Pick Monday: Kansas City Royals +152

The Kansas City Royals trail the Minnesota Twins by just 0.5 games. They have the rest advantage after having Sunday off, while the Twins just completed a grueling 4-game series with the Cleveland Guardians, the team they are trailing in the AL Central.

Brady Singer is one of the most underrated starters in the American League this season. He is 8-7 with a 3.03 ERA and 1.19 WHIP in 23 starts for the Royals. Singer has allowed just 2 earned runs and 10 base runners in 12 innings with a whopping 20 K's in his last two starts against Minnesota.

Pablo Lopez continues to get too much respect from the books tonight. He is 10-8 with a 4.74 ERA in 23 starts for the Twins this season while allowing 21 homers. He'll be facing a hot Kansas City lineup that has scored at least 5 runs in nine of their last 10 games overall. Bet the Royals Monday.

FRANK’S CUTTING ROOM FLOOR FOR MONDAY, 8/12:

My “Cutting Room Floor” plays are the situations I considered the closest to being worthy of investment but did not make the “final cut” for my official plays today for subscribers. The last play I cut for Monday is with the Arizona Diamondbacks with the money-line versus the Colorado Rockies. Arizona (66-53) has won seven of their last eight games after their 12-5 win against Philadelphia on Sunday. The Diamondbacks have won 8 of their last 9 games after scoring five or more runs in their last game. They have also won 12 of their last 15 games at home. Colorado (44-75) has won two of their last three contests after a 9-8 win against Atlanta yesterday. The Rockies have lost 6 of their last 8 games after winning their previous game. They have also lost 16 of their last 22 games on the road. Take Arizona with the money-line (-250). Best of luck — Frank.

3% ROCKIES/DIAMONDBACKS MLB FREE PICK

The Arizona Diamondbacks are rolling into this series 8-2 in their last 10 games and they are also 8-2 in Brandon Pfaadt's last 10 starts. Pfaadt has been particularly sharp home at Chase Field were he has a 3.52 ERA and the Rockies are with their 17-43 road record one of the worst road teams in baseball.

Monday MLB Free play. My selection is on Atlanta -1.5 runs over San Francisco at 9:45 pm et on Monday.

The Braves didn't enjoy their stop in Denver, dropping two of three games against the lowly Rockies. I look for them to bounce back on Monday in San Francisco.

Atlanta figures to be happy to be facing Giants left-hander Blake Snell in the opener of this series. Current Braves hitters are 18-for-61 (.295) off of him with a 1.058 OPS. Snell will be making his second straight start on short rest (four days) after throwing well over 200 pitches in total in his last two outings.

We know Chris Sale still has plenty left in the tank as evidenced by his sparkling 2.25 FIP and 1.00 WHIP this season. He'll be looking to rebound following consecutive shaky outings. Take Atlanta -1.5 runs.

Dave's Monday Free Play:

1* on Braves/Giants OVER 6.5 -115

The Key: There will be double-digit winds blowing out to center at Oracle Park in San Francisco tonight. While Blake Snell and Chris Sale are two of the best left-handers in the game, this total of 6.5 is too short tonight. The Braves have scored at least 5 runs in 5 consecutive games. The Giants have scored at least 4 runs in 7 of their last 8 games overall. Take the OVER.
