Chris Sale, P, Boston Red Sox

Price: $12,500

The Boston Red Sox are the biggest favorites on Friday's slate, with a massive -300 moneyline. This leaves the Kansas City Royals with a 3.01 implied total, which is Friday's lowest mark.

The Royals have been awful against left-handed pitching this season, with an 83 wRC+ that ranks bottom-five in the Majors, while also striking out at a 21.9% clip, which sits in the middle of the pack.

Sale ranks second among qualifying starters with both a 2.49 skill-interactive ERA (SIERA) and 36.1% strikeout rate this season (both behind only Max Scherzer), and his 47.1 FanDuel points per game are also good for second among pitchers.

With a plus matchup and favorable betting lines, it's no surprise that Sale is our top-projected pitcher for Friday's slate.
