After a 20 run slug-fest on Friday, I expect Saturday's Cards/Royals total to be far less. Both left-handed starters are on fine runs. Matz has been very good since returning, pitching for length and allowing just a pair of runs in his last 4 starts. Royals rookie Ragans has been equally impressive, giving up just 2 runs in his last three outings and striking out 19(!) in his last two appearances. Neither bullpen impressed on Friday, but the game was a blow-out early, so both teams' best relievers should be available on Saturday. The Royals are hitting well but generally struggle vs left-handed pitching. The Cardinals are very average at the moment on offense. I think the total is slightly inflated after Friday's 12-8 outcome. Take the total to go under on Saturday.
