#955/956 ASA PLAY ON Under 7.5 Runs – Kansas City Royals vs New York Yankees, Saturday at 6:38 PM ET - Michael Wacha went 11-3 with a 3.27 ERA in his evening outings this season and he had a fantastic 2nd half of the season which is the bigger key for us of course. Wacha went 7-2 with a 2.79 ERA after the All-Star break and New York has not seen him since last season and that was a dominant outing for him. However, the Yankees and Gerrit Cole are the big favorites here with good reason. That is, Cole is expected by the oddsmakers to be his typical dominant self here. He is back in top form and went 5-3 the last two months with a 2.25 ERA over this stretch of 10 starts! Just like the Yankees have not seen Wacha this season, the Royals have not seen Cole this season. This is also an edge for the pitchers over these lineups. 11 of the last 13 games have totaled 6 or less runs for KC and those 11 games (this includes playoffs versus Orioles) have averaged only 3 runs per game! The Yankees are known for seeing their bats go quiet come October and 7 of last 9 Yankees post-season games have totaled 6 or less runs. Wacha and Cole both in strong form and facing hitters that have not seen them in quite some time. We expect a pitchers duel here. Our computer math model is projecting high probability for a range of only 4 to 6 runs here and even if it gets to 7 that is still a winning ticket for us. We are going with the Under in this one.
