#963/964 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Over 9 Runs – Cincinnati Reds @ Kansas City Royals, Monday at 8:10 PM ET - Expected starters are Luke Weaver for the Reds and Zack Greinke for the Royals. We like the over here regardless of the starting pitchers as some overall metrics are pointing to the over here plus the bullpens help the cause. Taking a look at WHIP, the Reds bullpen is ranked 18th out of 30 teams and the Royals bullpen is ranked 29th so far this season. The Reds have won 12 of 20 games and have been hitting well in recent weeks. Prior to yesterday's 4-3 victory staying under the total, Cincinnati had 15 of 19 games total at least 9 runs during this hotter stretch of hitting. Though KC has not been hitting well they have been on the road. The Royals do tend to hit better when at home. Though the Royals might be the worst team in baseball, their .404 slugging percentage at home does rank them in the middle of the pack, 14th, in MLB so far this season. KC should take advantage of facing a struggling Reds pitcher, Weaver, in this one as he has had only 2 good starts out of 9 this season. In his other 7 starts, Weaver has allowed 32 earned runs in 35.2 innings! The Royals also have a struggling starter, Greinke, taking the mound for this one. The veteran right-hander is 1-6 with a 4.59 ERA this season and just got roughed up at Miami. More of the same here at home. Over is the call in this one Monday night.
