Expert Betting Tips

The Kansas City Royals are still unable to put together whole offensive drives, and Jordan Lyles has been a complete and total disaster. Lyles has a record of 1-11, and he has a 6.68 ERA and a 1.30 WHIP to go along with it. Just plain awful to look at. Tanner Bibee's performance has been good, with a 3.46 earned run average and 1.26 walks allowed per nine innings. The Cleveland Guardians, too, have their share of problems, but at least they play their home games in Cleveland. As a result, this ought to be a walk in the park for the home team, and betting on the over is an additional significant option to consider sticking with.
