Two below-the-radar pitchers go at it here. The Cardinals are going with Steven Matz. KC is starting Cole Ragans.
Matz is 3-0 with a 1.65 ERA in his last six starts. He faces a Royals offense that ranks 28th in runs. He also won't have to deal with injured leadoff hitter Maikel Garcia, who is hitting .304 in his last 35 games.
Ragans has been a pleasant surprise for the Royals since coming from the Rangers. He has a 1.02 ERA with 22 strikeouts in 17 2/3 innings with the Royals.
The oddsmaker is not showing these pitchers enough respect with this high of a total.
