Diamondbacks vs. Royals Key Players to Watch
Arizona Diamondbacks
Ketel Marte: The Diamondbacks' second baseman has been fantastic this season, leading the Diamondbacks in batting average at .291 and ranking seventh in the Majors in WAR at +4.9. He is the MVP of this Diamondbacks lineup.

Diamondbacks vs. Royals Prediction and Pick
Instead of betting on a side or total in this game, I think the best value lies in a player prop. I broke down the pick in today's edition of Painting the Corners:
"Jordan Montgomery gets the start for the Arizona Diamondbacks tonight when they take on the Kansas City Royals, and he's had some issues with his command this season. Montgomery has allowed at least two walks in seven of his 13 starts this season.
"Given that he has allowed more than 1.5 walks in over 50% of his starts this season, I love the fact we can bet on it happening again at plus-money against the Royals tonight."
Pick: Jordan Montgomery OVER 1.5 Walks +100
