The Royals have covered the spread in each of the first two games of this series, so why stop now?
Despite not being a complete team, the Royals are displaying remarkable resilience during the most challenging part of their schedule. Their determination is a sight to behold.

The Royals have just finished a grueling four-game series against the formidable New York Yankees. And now, they’re gearing up for a weekend matchup with the star-studded Dodgers.
Notably, including their Thursday game against the Yankees, the Royals have covered the spread in three consecutive games. This team has not just stabilized but bounced back after a very challenging week.
Royals-Dodgers Game Best Bet
The Dodgers will get a strong performance from Glasnow, but more will be needed. Kansas City will deliver late in the game to secure the win.
If you’d like to take the Royals on the run line at +1.5 you can get plus-money odds on most sportsbooks, but if you’re bold and go for the underdog upset you’re looking at north of +220.
