SBG GlobalOpening Line: Royals - 120, Total 8.5 Over -120

The St. Louis Cardinals will look for revenge this weekend as they play the Kansas City Royals. Last week the Royals swept the Cardinals in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">St. Louis</st1:place></st1:City> and now the Royals are red-hot, having won 10 of their last 11 games overall. They are 12-3 in Interleague play this season. "That's a step, no doubt," Royals manager Trey Hillman said. "Sometimes, you'd like to take large giant steps, but we dug ourselves such a big hole that we're going to have to get back in it with baby steps." SBG Globalreports that early MLB betting has the public taking Royals at Home.<o:p></o:p>

He has owned the Royals at Kauffman Stadium, hitting .398 with 8 home runs and 24 RBIs. The Cardinals lost in extra innings on Thursday and have lost three of their last four.

This game has over written all over it. Really hard not to take the Cards at even money too, as hot as KC is.
