Vegas Play of the Day: Tampa Bay Rays at Kansas City Royals

We've reset the Play of the Day with fresh bankrolls and turned it into a yearly competition. Our three sports writers have restarted with $10,000 bankrolls to continue using on odds from the South Point.

Tampa Bay Rays at Kansas City Royals over-7.5 runs at plus-105: $700 to win $735

The Royals are on a tear of overs lately (seven straight) and I’m going to try to hop on the wave before it comes crashing down.

Kansas City starter Dillon Gee has allowed at least three earned runs in two of his last three starts, and Tampa Bay’s Drew Smyly has done the same in three of the last four. The vast majority of each pitcher’s starts have gone over eight runs this season and now that Kansas City’s offense has found some life, we could be in for a few more easy overs before the adjustment.

Current Standings (as of July 1): Brewer (50-41-2, $11,775), Bern (33-40, $6,325), Keefer (49-59-2, $5,190)

Lifetime standings: 2014-15 Champion Bern (113-114-1), Keefer (132-142-4), Brewer (118-128-4)
