This is a 10* AL PITCHERS DUEL on the UNDER White Sox/Royals.

Both teams have been playing to several higher-scoring games of late, but I'm expecting more of a "duel" here on Tuesday finally.

The White Sox have lost four straight after dropping the opener of this series here yesterday by a score of 12-1, and they've seen the total go OVER the number in three of their last four.

It's interesting to note though that the ChiSox have seen the total go UNDER the number in seven of their last ten after a ten runs or greater loss in their last outing.

KC has now seen the total go OVER the number in four straight.

All of these recent "overs" have only helped though in contributing to this particular O/U number today in being a little bit TOO high now in my opinion.

These two pitchers have seen better days, but they won't be lacking motivation here. Dylan Cease (6-7, 4.91 ERA) gets the nod for the visitors, while the home side counters with Brady Singer (8-10, 5.15.)

The overall situation and the above listed O/U trend both point to the UNDER as the correct call in this one as far as the total is concerned.

Good luck, NP
