Prediction
I’ll take Ray and the home team here. It’s a very good pitching matchup, but Ray has the slight edge. Bubic has been terrific this season, but the Royals are just 5-4 when he starts because the offense is so bad. K.C. scores just 2.78 runs a game when Bubic starts. On the other side, San Francisco is a perfect 9-0 when Ray is on the mound. The Royals have scored three runs or less in five games in a row and eight of their last nine. You’re not going to win many games with that kind of offense. The Giants are coming off a nice weekend sweep of the A’s and have the momentum here.
Pick: Giants -122
