Nick Lodolo has shown a stark contrast in his performance depending on the venue. While his road numbers are solid, with a 3.05 ERA and a .169 opponent batting average, his struggles at Great American Ballpark are notable. This season, Lodolo has posted a 4.99 ERA at home with opponents hitting .277 against him, which is over 100 points higher than his road numbers. Additionally, in his last four home starts, he has given up 18 runs in 18.2 innings, indicating significant issues with control and home run prevention in his home ballpark.
On the other hand, Michael Wacha has been a reliable arm for Kansas City this season, carrying a 3.50 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP over 21 starts. Wacha has been particularly effective lately, allowing two earned runs or fewer in nine of his last 11 starts, during which he has posted a 2.56 ERA and a 1.07 WHIP. The Royals have also won four of Wacha's last five starts, reflecting his ability to keep the team in games and give them a chance to win.
Given Lodolo's struggles at home and Wacha's consistent form, the Royals present strong value on the money line, particularly as underdogs. Kansas City has also been effective on the road, winning 11 of their last 16 away games, further bolstering their appeal in this matchup.
