KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The first place and steaming hot Los Angeles Dodgers continue their road trip on Friday for the start of a three-game series against the Kansas City Royals, where they are starting off as favorites to win.

Ahead of Friday night’s game, legal sports betting sites have -159 odds in favor of the Dodgers with a 1.5-runline lying in their favor as well. There is plenty to get behind both on the moneyline and runline for LA.

Take The Even Money On Dodgers To Cover

While there is still value in betting on the Dodgers to win outright on MLB betting sites, the +100 odds for them to cover the -1.5 runline are too good to pass up.

Going into Friday’s game, LA is riding a four-game win streak in which they’ve covered a -1.5 runline in all four of those games. That includes a three-game sweep against the Colorado Rockies.

On the other hand, the Royals are going into this one having lost five straight games and failing to cover a +1.5 runline in four of them. They failed to cover in all three of their games against the Tampa Bay Rays in their most recent series.

As far as betting trends go, they lean in the direction of the Dodgers winning and potentially covering as well. As a home team underdog, the Royals have just a 6-7 record with a -1.2 average run differential. On the opposite end, as a road team favorite, the Dodgers have the fourth best record in the MLB at 15-10 and a +1.4 run average.
