Understanding Public and Money
Think of 'Public' as the percentage of people betting on each side and 'Money' as how much money is being bet. When there's a big difference between the 'Public' and 'Money' data, it usually means that the more serious bettors (referred to as 'Sharp Money') are favoring a particular side.

Alex's Analysis:
Ronel Blanco has arguably been the Astros best starter for the majority of the season, however I would argue he has pitched above expectations and has looked shaky. He has an ERA over 4.0 in the month of August and has also struggled to pitch deep into games, only eclipsing 17.5 in 1/5 August starts. He will face a Royals lineup that has been solid all season, but have been swinging the bats very well lately as they possess a top 5 OPS since August 1st.
