The Kansas City Royals are the better pick for Thursday’s game because of their 69% win probability and history versus underperforming underdogs like the Rockies, who are 0-7 and priced at +195 or longer. Even though the Royals are heavy favorites, previous scoring trends suggest that it would be wise to wager on the Under 8.5 runs because both teams have a history of missing totals, making this a low-scoring match.
