This is an 8* TOP IL TOTAL on the UNDER Dodgers/Royals.

Both teams have been playing to several higher-scoring games of late, but we're expecting that trend to end this evening.

The Royals have won five of their last six, including going 3-1 against the White Sox this week. The last two games of that series flew OVER the number.

The Dodgers are the hottest team in baseball and after taking both games over the Twins, winning 10-3 and 8-5, we're definitely expecting more of a "DUEL" here.

The visitors hand the ball to Tony Gonsolin (13-1, 2.30 ERA) who sports a minuscule 0.89 WHIP. He'll be opposed by Daniel Lynch (4-7, 4.79.)

Lynch has been sharper of late and we can expect him to elevate his level of play here throwing opposite Gonsolin as well.

This number is a little high, the play is the UNDER.

Good luck, NP
