Vegas Play of the Day: Oakland Athletics at Kansas City Royals

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.

Oakland Athletics at Kansas City Royals over-8 runs at minus-105: $420 to win $400

It’s my turn again on a nonfootball night, which means I’m going to continue to mine the Royals for fictional gold.

Kansas City’s run of overs hasn’t really cooled off since the last time I checked in. The Royals have now gone over in 13 of their last 15, and tonight there’s a discount on these teams getting over a very reasonable eight runs.

Oakland’s Jharel Cotton is making only his second career start, while Kansas City’s Danny Duffy has allowed at least eight hits in each of his last four starts. At least one of these offenses is going to go off tonight.

Current Standings: Bern (9-7, $11,292), Brewer (10-9, $10,105), Keefer (11-10-1, $9,721)
