Larry's prime MLB play is the Red Sox -140 over the Royals at 7:10 p.m. ET. "I don't think they are going to have a letdown after sweeping the Yankees. They are playing tremendous all-around baseball," he says. Larry points out the Royals "have lost five straight games and only scored five runs in their last four games. Garrett Richards is not any ace by any means, but he is coming off a 1 2/3-inning outing and I think he bounces back. It's a perfect spot against the Royals."
