This game features two pitchers that already pitched against the Royals and Yankees last week. Both Cole and Wacha's starts went over the total as Cole got hit for 3 earned runs, 2 walks and 1 home run while Wacha pitched in the same game, giving up 3 earned runs and 1 home run. Both pitchers have been more hittable recently so they should give up runs. The bullpens will give up a few more and the Royals will want to press more in this game to get back into the series so expect more runs.

Best bet: take the Over the Total.
