Apparently the Royals won’t win all the rest of their games this year. The lineup managed just three hits and Michael Wacha could not close out a few key innings, as the Royals snapped a seven-game win streak with a 6-1 loss to the Mets in the series opener Friday night.
Coming off a 2-1 Thursday in which we cashed tickets of +144 and +124, we're looking to keep the momentum rolling into the weekend. Here are our three favorite K props for Friday's MLB slate.
The Kansas City Royals are starting out the season on fire. Whether or not it is sustainable is the real question.
MJ Melendez hit a key homer and Michael Wacha tossed seven shutout innings as the host Kansas City Royals beat the Chicago White Sox 3-0 on Saturday night.
The Kansas City Royals (4-4) face the Chicago White Sox (1-6) at home at 7:10 PM ET on Saturday. This contest’s pitching matchup is set, as the Royals will send Michael Wacha to the mound, while Chris Flexen (0-1) will answer the bell for the White Sox.
The Final Four is set, but with the action not taking center stage until Saturday, we've got plenty of time to look over the matchups and lines.
The 2023 season for the Kansas City Royals was one in the same as it has been in the past few seasons. The Royals finished 56-106 and last place in the American League Central division for the second straight season.
Finished is the long and mundane offseason drag and spring training is now here. With that, projections and speculations are trickling in as more fans and baseball insiders try to guess the layout of the 2024 season.
This offseason has been full of fascinating transactions, from Shohei Ohtani‘s record-breaking contract to Juan Soto‘s trade to the New York Yankees.
The Royals have been one of the game’s most active teams this winter but don’t appear done with their offseason just yet.
The Kansas City Royals officially announced the signing of new starting pitcher Michael Wacha on Monday. As a result of his signing, the Royals needed a spot on the 40-man roster.
The Kansas City Royals’ shrewd offseason continues.
The Royals’ active offseason is continuing, as Kansas City has agreed to terms with free agent righty Michael Wacha.
Now that Shohei Ohtani is officially off the market, the Los Angeles Angels have to start building out their starting rotation. The front office understands that they won’t go anywhere next season if they don’t have pitching, so it’s been a priority this offseason.
The St. Louis Cardinals need to add multiple starting pitchers this offseason. They already have been linked to multiple top-tier free-agent starters and may land one or two of them.
The first domino may be falling for the Padres roster. Dennis Lin of The Athletic reported Saturday that the Padres have declined their two-year, $32M club option on veteran righty Michael Wacha.
Wacha will now have the opportunity to decide between exercising a $6.5M player option for the 2024 season or hitting the open market.
As they enter into their offseason, the Padres have some big decisions to make on a few players that could be free agents. One of those is starting pitcher Michael Wacha, who was great for the Friars this season.
Prior to veteran pitcher Michael Wacha's arrival last month, the Padre's front office were not sure which direction their pitching plans were going. The positive statistics from last season obviously made them want to run it back with a six-man rotation but they also lost some key firepower during free agency.
The San Diego Padres’ agreement with veteran starting pitcher Michael Wacha breaks away from many MLB contract norms and could revolutionize certain future deals in the league.
Former Red Sox starter Michael Wacha has agreed to a deal with the Padres, as was first reported by Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. According to the Associated
Pitchers and catchers are scheduled to report to their respective spring training sites in Arizona and Florida in just a matter of days, yet Michael Wacha remains unsigned despite being the top free agent starting pitcher still on the market.
Wacha, 31, is coming off a strong campaign for Boston, where he threw 127 1/3 innings of 3.32 ERA ball over 23 starts. Advanced metrics weren’t particularly encouraged by Wacha’s work, and his previous two seasons of work had amounted to a 5.39 ERA. Nevertheless, it was a promising outing for the veteran right-hander and even some regression could still make him a solid back-of-the-rotation option for a number of teams.
Wacha has 10 seasons of MLB experience under his belt, and he carries a 4.05 ERA in more than 1,100 career innings. Last season, Wacha made 23 starts and tallied 127 1/3 innings, pitching to a quality 3.32 ERA.
The Red Sox open up arguably their biggest series of the 2022 season thus far on Thursday, when they face the rival Yankees.
Wacha began the campaign as one of Boston's top starters, as he accumulated a 3-0 record, a 1.38 ERA and an 0.92 WHIP across five starts.
