Sometimes I'm leery about playing a baseball game Over on Sunday when days off are more frequent for starters.
But I'm going to get involved in this Over. After all, it's the A's versus the Royals.
The A's are starting rookie Mason Miller. He's backed by an Oakland bullpen that is the worst in the majors with a whopping 6.60 ERA.
Kansas City is swinging its hottest bats all season averaging six runs in its last eight games. The Royals have left 22 men on base during the first two games of this series - yet still have scored 12 runs.
Ryan Yarbrough gets the start for Kansas City. That's not good if you're a Royals fan. Yarbrough is 0-4 with a 7.40 ERA. He has thrown a mind-boggling 157 combined pitches in his last two starts spanning just 7 2/3 innings.
The A's have scored 17 runs during the first two games of this series. The Royals have surrendered at least seven runs in six of their last nine games. Their bullpen has the fourth-worst ERA in the majors at 5.44.
As an added bonus, the wind is blowing out to left at 10-to-15 mph. That's not good news for Yarbrough. Neither is the fact that the Over is 10-1 (91 percent) the last 11 times the A's have faced a lefty starter.
