ASA TOP PLAY 10* ON OVER the Total - Kansas City Royals @ Cleveland Indians, Tuesday at 6:10 PM ET

As football season approaches cooler weather is making its way back into the picture. However, though it is already in the northern plains and upper midwest it has not yet moved east through all of the Great Lakes region. That being said, Cleveland is still on the warm side of the weather front Tuesday and the ball should be carrying quite well in this one. The pitching match-up is ideal for an over. While it is true that neither one of these teams is known for a powerhouse lineup, that is also a key reason as to why this total has been holding in the 8.5 range this morning and that is a great value considering both pitchers are likely to get hit hard. Triston McKenzie is a rookie and this will be the first time ever he has faced a major league team for a 2nd time. Not only that, the Indians right-hander just faced the Royals last week. Though he was successful in that start, McKenzie labored in his prior start and now Kansas City takes advantage of getting a quick second look at him. The Indians also will enjoy facing another pitcher they just saw last week as Jakob Junis takes the mound for the Royals. Junis took a line drive off the forearm of his throwing arm in his most recent outing. That certainly won't help matters for a guy whom is making just his 2nd road start of this season and his 5th start overall. He went 6-10 with a 4.88 ERA in night games in 2018 and 5-10 with a 5.40 ERA in night games last season. This will be his 4th start under the lights this season . He was hit hard in his only road start this season. More of the same here. Indians are 5-1 last 6 games and scored an average of 5.6 runs per game in those victories. The Royals have lost 7 straight games and allowed an average of 7.3 runs per game during this losing streak. . Kansas City again gives up plenty here but they give the rookie McKenzie trouble as they see him for a 2nd time in less than a week. Per our computer math model, this one gets into double digits in runs! Bet the OVER in Cleveland in early evening action Tuesday
