Vegas Play of the Day: Kansas City Royals at Minnesota Twins

We’re entering the third season of the annual South Point-lined Play of the Day competition, effective July 1.

Starting bankrolls have reset to $10,000, with the maximum bet being to win $1,000 and the minimum wager $300. Ray Brewer won the 2015-2016 season, after Taylor Bern prevailed in 2014-2015.

Kansas City Royals plus-114 at Minnesota Twins: $700 to win $798

Kansas City’s bid for a playoff spot took a significant hit with three straight losses and four out of seven, but the Twins are the cure for what ails most teams this season.

The Royals took the first game of the series 11-5 — their eighth over in nine games — and now it’s Dillon Gee vs. former Royal Ervin Santana. Gee’s bounced in and out of the rotation, tossing a scoreless inning last week after giving up one earned run over six innings in his last start (against the Yankees).

Santana has a lot of blowup potential, and I think that’s what’s going to happen with a parlay of Royals and the over the way to go.

Current Standings: Keefer (11-8-1, $10,601), Bern (6-7, $10,144), Brewer (8-9, $9,005)
