The Los Angeles Dodgers and Kansas City Royals wrap up a three-game series on Sunday after splitting the first two games of the set. The Dodgers won 5-4 on Friday and the Royals won 9-5 on Saturday. First pitch is set for 2:10 p.m. ET. If you're interested in MLB betting and want to check out the best bets for Dodgers-Royals, or if you have interest in MLB player props at some of the top betting sites, then you need to check out the latest MLB odds, top plays and MLB best bets from the SportsLine Projection Model's.
The Royals will start breakout lefty Kris Bubic (6-5, 2.18 ERA) on Sunday while the Dodgers are starting Lou Trivino in what figures to be a bullpen day. L.A. is banged up in the rotation with injuries to Tyler Glasnow, Blake Snell, Roki Sasaki and Tony Gonsolin. Shohei Ohtani started Saturday's game but is still severely limited in his pitching workload after elbow surgery, and he threw just two innings in that game before Ben Casparius was used as the "bulk guy." Bubic has been fantastic for the Royals after spending 2024 in the bullpen, and he allowed two earned runs to the Tampa Bay Rays in his last start over six innings. His strikeout prop is set at 4.5 at FanDuel Sportsbook, and the model is projecting 6.2 for the lefty, rating that as a 5-star prop play.
The Dodgers are -132 favorites (wager $132 to win $100) according to the latest SportsLine consensus odds, and the Royals are +111 (wager $100 to win $111) underdogs at home. The total is 9.5 runs.
