The Kansas City Royals were a playoff team last year, and the Royals are all about pitching. The Kansas City staff has allowed just 177 runs on the season, one run behind the Minnesota Twins for the fewest runs allowed in the AL. The Royals have held four opponents to one run or fewer over their last eight games. The problem is that they have lost many low-scoring games because the offense has been subpar. The Royals are 35-18 on the season UNDER. Cincinnati is 30-21 to the under on the season, including 0-5 against teams in the AL Central. The pitching matchup is between two pitchers with ERA's at 3.77 (Lorenzen), and 3.43 (Martinez). I like the UNDER in this one, as these teams combine for a 65-39 record to the UNDER on the season.

Kansas City at Cincinnati
August 18, 2024
1:40 PM Eastern
It's a high total after yesterday's 13-1 Kansas City rout, but this looks far more like a pitcher's duel. Kansas City starter Brady Singer (3.32 ERA) has 130 Ks in 135+ innings. He faces a Cincinnati offense that is 14th in runs scored, 25th in on-base percentage, and 15th in slugging. Andrew Abbott (3.59 ERA) has a 3.34 ERA at home and the bullpen is sixth in ERA (3.60) and 10th in WHIP. The UNDER is 7-0-1 when Abbott starts at home against winning teams, plus 6-0 UNDER when he starts in interleague action. Take Kansas City/Cincinnati UNDER the total.
