Houston/Kansas City Game Total UNDER 8.5
-This games sets up to be a low scoring Pitcher's duel and I expect a 4-2 type final score.
-For Houston, Keuchel is an outstanding 9-0 with a 1.67 ERA and 0.872 WHIP in 11 starts.
-Keuchel faced Kansas City on April 7 and pitched 7 innings allowing just 2 hits and one run. I expect a similar performance tonight.
-This Royals team is one of the weakest run production teams that Keuchel will face all year as they rank 28th in runs per game, 26th in batting average and 28th OPS. I would consider taking the Royals TT UNDER, but they have it set at 3.5 runs.
-Tonight it should also be tough for Houston to light up the scoreboard, as they will be facing Vargas, a veteran lefty this is having the best season of his career with a record of 7-3 and an ERA of 2.08 and 1.096 WHIP.
-Earlier this year when Vargas faced Houston, he beat the Astros allowing only one run in 6 Innings. He is also off of a complete game shutout of the Cleveland Indians. He is not is the same league and Keuchel, but not far behind.
-In the last 2 starts by Vargas, Kansas City has given up a total of 2 runs.
-In the last 2 start by Keuchel, Houston has given up a total of 3 runs.
-Neither Kansas City or Houston fair well against lefties. They both have averages that are 20 points less than against righties and Kansas City is a paltry .220 against lefties.
- The Under is 9-1 in the last 10 starts by Vargas.
-Weather will not be a factor as the wind is blowing in from Center at about 6mph.
I look for a very tight low scoring game tonight. BOL!
