I’m on the Under 7.5 runs in this game of the Guardians @ the Royals for these reasons :

- Tanner Bibee on the mound for the Guardians and he’s the Ace I will back to keep this game low scoring while on the mound. He’s averaged 5.5 innings pitched last season, 187 strikeouts and a 3.47 ERA. He’s throwing against a Royals team that I don’t like against RHP, especially RHP of Bibee’s Caliber. He has a mean Cutter, but his Fastball will be the weapon of choice here, and only half of the bullpen bat over .250 vs the fastball.

- On the other side, I like the Royals with Wacha on the mound at home. He’s sturdy and has more control over his pitches, though the fast ball is weaker than it’s been in the past, his changeup is elite and vs a Guardians team that is overall poor at batting in my opinion, they should have no issue keeping them off base. I also favor the royals to win for that reason and also the better fielding unit is advantage for the home team.

Official Play: Under 7.5 runs

Side Bet: Royals Moneyline

Hail Mary: Tanner Bibee over 4.5 strikeouts
