Pittsburgh went UNDER for the seventh time in eight games last night, losing 4-3 to the Royals. The Pirates have scored only six runs in five games, including three shutouts. They are 53-37 UNDER this season and Kansas City is 56-36 UNDER. Both teams are averaging only 3.4 runs per game. The Royals have allowed more than three runs once in eight games. Kris Bubic gave up three runs on seven hits in seven innings his last outing against Arizona on Friday. Bubic has a 2.36 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP and has pitched much better than his 7-6 record indicates. The Pirates are 5-0 UNDER in Bailey Falter's past five Wednesday starts and they have gone UNDER 14 of 16 Wednesday games overall. Take the UNDER.

The Pittsburgh Pirates are 38-54 on the season, and despite some good young pitchers at the top of the rotation, their offense has not been able to produce much. The Pirates are tied with Kansas City for the fewest runs scored in baseball. The Pirates have been good at home (26-21), but the road has been a train wreck as they are 12-33. The Pirates have started this road trip with four straight losses, and did not score a single run against Seattle as they were swept three straight. Kansas City doesn't swing the bats well, but their pitching is outstanding. Seth Lugo is sizzling as he has allowed just three earned runs in his last five starts. I like Kansas City in this one.
