This is an 8* SPECIAL TOTAL on the UNDER Yanks/Royals.

We're expecting a classic pitchers duel in this one.

The Yanks are off a 12-2 win in yesterday's series opener. New York has now won seven in a row. It's posted 22 runs in its last two victories.

Kansas City though has seen the total go UNDER the number in eight of its last ten in trying to avenge an eight runs or greater home loss against an opponent.

Expect these starters to battle deep into the latter frames. New York goes with Gerrit Cole (1-0, 4.00 ERA), while the Royals counter with Carlos Hernandez (0-0, 6.43.)

These are two starters in desperate need of a decent start.

We're expecting these two hungry hurlers to be the main storylines in tomorrow's summaries.

The play is the UNDER.

Good luck, NP
