Shane’s Free Pick

The Royals have been awful all season, and they are going to struggle again in this game. Ryan Yarbough has had his issues this season and he currently sits with an ERA of 5.21. The Guardians offense hasn’t been exactly elite this season but they are going to find success here. Allen is coming off a start where he gave up zero runs, and he’s going to lockdown again here. Back the Guardians on the run line.
