Pittsburgh Pirates +153 at Kansas City Royals -183 Total: 9

The Pirates are 3-7 in their last ten games, but there is no chance I am comfortable laying this number with the Royals. Brady SInger hasn’t been great as a starter for the Royals and he is oging to struggle again in this game. Take a chance with the Pirates.
