The Los Angeles Angels enter this contest as a sizable favorite, but I still think they'll prove well worth the money coming up against a Kansas City Royals team that has found wins hard to come by on the road.

The Halos hand the ball to Griffin Canning (1-1, 5.65 ERA) who was hurt by the long ball last time out when he served up three homers at Baltimore. The 23-year-old rookie has recorded 19 Ks through his first 14 1/3 innings of work in the big leagues.

The Royals counter with Jakob Junis (3-4, 5.77 ERA) who has lost back-to-back start while allowing 10 runs (nine earned) over 9 2/3 frames. Junis is 0-2 with an 8.10 ERA in two career starts against the Angels and their current roster is batting a combined .400 with four home runs through 35 at-bats against the right-hander.

The Angels are 12-2 in their last 14 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400 and had won eight of the last 10 meetings with KC entering Friday.

8* play on LA Angels.
