The St. Louis Cardinals had won four straight prior to a 4-1 loss to the Kansas City Royals in the opener of a three-game series on Monday. They remain desperate for wins as they enter Tuesday tied with Cincinnati for second in the NL Central, but the Royals won't roll over, especially not with rookie right-hander Brady Singer (3-4, 4.14 ERA) on the mound. Singer is coming off a pair of scoreless starts while allowing only three overs 14 frames, and the Cards have struggled to produce runs all season ranking only 20th with 4.64 runs per game.

Left-hander Austin Gomber (0-1, 2.37 ERA) will take the ball for St. Louis, filling in for Dakota Hudson. Gomber was knocked around as a reliever at Pittsburgh on Friday, but he has 6 2/3 scoreless frames against Kansas City throughout his career. We can also note that KC ranks just 27th for runs scored per game with 4.26 rpg average.

Under is 20-6-1 in Cardinals last 27 interleague road games. Under is 6-0 in Royals last 6 games vs. a left-handed starter.

10* play on UNDER.
