MLB: Sunday's 2 p.m. ET plays

Play: Kansas City -125 (Capuano vs. Volquez)

Time: 2:10 p.m. ET

TV: MLBN

Reasoning: Chris Capuano will make his season debut for New York. He started 12 games for the Yankees last season and posted a 4.25 ERA. But he hasn't spent a full season in a rotation since 2012. The Royals are hitting .300 vs. LH on the season and .357 against them in the last 10 games. Edinson Volquez has a 3.19 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP. New York is hitting .226 and is scoring 1.73 rpg vs. RH in its last five. Kansas City is 12-6 at home and its bullpen has a 1.63 ERA.



Play: Pittsburgh +116 (Burnett vs. Arrieta)

Time: 2:20 p.m. ET

TV: MLBN

Reasoning: A.J. Burnett has a 1.60 ERA on the season after allowing two or fewer runs in each of his seven starts. He allowed Chicago one run over six innings on April 20 and he is 7-4 with a 3.13 ERA in his career against the Cubs. He is 5-1 with a 3.17 ERA at Wrigley Field. Jake Arrieta has a 4.42 ERA and a 1.35 WHIP in his last three starts. The Pirates are scoring 1.34 more rpg vs. RH. Chicago is scoring 1.37 less rpg vs. RH. Pittsburgh's bullpen has a 3.20 ERA and Cubs relievers have combined for a 4.23 ERA. And Josh Harrison is hot (11-for-21, last five games).



Record: 360-274-13 (56.8%)
Bankroll: +294.30%
