This is an 8* TOP AL TOTAL on the OVER Royals/Indians.

Neither team will be in the playoffs.

Cleveland's Cal Quantrill has sure been on fire of late, winning his past three starts and allowing two earned runs over his last 21 innings of work.

At some point Quantrill is going to have a letdown, but one thing is for certain, is that I don't trust Jackson Kowar, who is 0-4 with an 11.45 ERA for the Royals. To go along with his atrocious ERA, he also owns a poor 2.23 WHIP and 19:18 K:BB over just 22 innings of work.

I say the White Sox make the most of this matchup as they get ready for the playoffs. And the Royals have nothing to lose here except another game.

I look for this one to fly OVER the number sooner, rather than later.

The play is the OVER.

Good luck, NP
