Betting Score & Prediction

This should be a pretty good baseball game. Sure, the Houston Astros have been great offensively, while Kansas City has struggled most of the season to score runs. The Houston Astros are throwing David Paulino in this game. The 23 year old has thrown just 4 innings this season, and 11 in his career. The Kansas City Royals are undecided on who is pitching in this game. The Royals have had decent starting pitching, but this is never a good spot to be in. Look for Houston to take care of business no matter who pitches. Bet on the Houston Astros -115 over the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday night.
