Play: N.Y. Yankees +120 (Kuroda vs. action)
Time: 2:10 p.m. ET
Reasoning: The Yankees have won five of the last six at Kauffman Stadium and James Shields in 8-15 against them in his career. Shields has a 7.36 ERA and a 1.75 WHIP in his last three starts. New York will start Hiroki Kuroda, who has a 3.34 ERA lifetime against Kansas City. Kuroda has pitched well since May 1 and, even though he has allowed homers, I'm not worried about that today. The Royals are last in the majors in home runs (28). Yankees DH Carlos Beltran has a .321 average and 13 RBI in 12 career games against Kansas City.
Play: Miami -106 (Alvarez vs. action)
Time: 2:20 p.m. ET
Reasoning: Marlins starter Henderson Alvarez has three shutouts this season and hasn't allowed a run in his last 21 innings. He hasn't allowed a homer in 30 innings. He'll face a Cubs team that is hitting .216 and scoring 1.5 less runs per game vs. RH. Chicago hurler Jake Arrieta has a 1.60 WHIP in 2014. Miami's bullpen has a 2.08 ERA over the last five games and, though Cubs relievers have a collective 3.14 ERA overall, that number is 4.15 at Wrigley Field.
Record: 98-67-5 (59.4%)
Bankroll: +93.84%
