This is a 10* AL TOP TUESDAY TOTAL on the UNDER Royals/Tigers.

KC has seen the total go OVER the number in eight of its last ten and in two straight. That includes a 9-1 and 9-3 setbacks to the White Sox at home.

The Royals have to be feeling confident they can bounce back here with Brady Singer on the mound. Singer is 1-3 with a 3.41 ERA. Previous to that he'd allowed one or fewer runs in four straight starts.

The Tigers come in having seen the total go OVER in five straight. That includes a 7-3 win here vs. the Twins two nights ago.

Detroit turns to its ace Matt Boyd, who is 2-3 with a 2.27 ERA. Boyd comes in extra rested, as his previous start was skipped over for rest, while his game on Sunday was postponed as well.

These two teams struggle with offensive consistency at the best of times, but note that KC has seen the total go UNDER in eight of its last 11 after allowing eight or more runs in a home loss in its previous outing.

I expect these starting pitchers to be the main focal point of tomorrow's summaries.

The play is the UNDER.

Good luck, NP
