This is a 10* TOTAL BOOKIEKILLER on the UNDER Royals/A's.

Both teams have been playing to higher-scoring affairs of late, but all signs point to this one on Wednesday being more of a "duel."

KC has seen the total go OVER the number in three of its last four, including in the first two losses of this series.

Note though that KC has seen the total UNDER the number in four of its last five in trying to avenge two or more straight losses against an opponent.

Oakland has now seen the total go OVER in five straight after the B2B wins, which is also significant to note, as the A's have seen the total go UNDER in eight of their last 12 after playing to five or more straight OVERs in a row.

Cole Ragans (2-1, 2.51 ERA) has looked sharp for the Royals, Adrian Martinez (0-1, 5.85) less so for the A's.

But here's a big opportunity for Martinez to get back to his previous form, facing this lowly opponent.

This number is high, the play is the UNDER.

Good luck, NP
