(MLB) Diamondbacks (ARI) vs. Royals (KAN),
Total: 9.50 | -106.00 Over
Result: Loss
#977/978 ASA PLAY ON Over 9.5 Runs - Arizona Diamondbacks at Kansas City Royals, Tuesday at 8:10 PM ET - Yesterday's game was a 10-4 Royals win and we look for another high-scoring game here. Kansas City is running hot after the All-Star break with 4 straight wins and they've scored 6.8 runs per victory in this stretch! Going further back, KC has won 8 of 10 games and scored 6.1 runs a game during this hot stretch. The Diamondbacks are off B2B losses but this followed a 12-5 stretch in which Arizona scored 6.5 runs per game during the last 14 games of that. Their bats should resume the hot-hitting ways here as they face Alec Marsch of the Royals. The Kansas City right-hander had a 5.68 ERA in 6 starts last month. Now this month he has a 7.20 ERA in 3 appearances (2 starts). Marsh's struggles continue here but he should get plenty of run support as well. Not only are the Royals bats hot, they can take advantage of a struggling Jordan Montgomery who is also coming off the 15-day DL after dealing with a knee injury. The Dbacks southpaw has allowed 26 earned runs in his last 25.1 innings dating back to late May. In terms of bullpen ERA, the Diamondbacks are ranked 21st and the Royals are ranked 20th. We like all the key elements to this one and our computer math model shows the highest probability of 11 to 12 runs. Over is the call in this one Tuesday evening.
