Angels vs. Royals Betting Preview - April 14, 2021

The LA Angels vs. Kansas City Royals betting trend heading into this game strongly favored the Angels.  Let's see if it makes sense to bet the Angels at -124 for this game. 

Action and Line Movement

The line has not moved much off the -124 with some books as high as -130. KC can be gotten for +117.

Preview

Brad Keller is considered the Royals ace starter but enters Wednesday's game at 0-1 with a 19.29 ERA. He's allowed 10 earned runs on 15 hits in 4 2/3 innings.  He will be facing RHP Griffin Canning for the Angels.

The Angels are seventh in MLB in batting average, tied for second in runs and tied for fourth in home runs. The No. 2 and 3 men in the order -- Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani -- have combined for eight home runs and 20 RBIs.

Ohtani hit his fourth homer of the season Tuesday night.

"It's impressive," Angels manager Joe Maddon said of Ohtani's scorching line drive. "He's an impressive athlete. And right now, he can't feel any better about himself or have any more self-confidence."

With Keller being due for a good outing here and the Royals having a solid bullpen, we will avoid a play on the Angels this day.

It should be noted that KC did beat LA Tuesday night.
