ALDS Total of the Year MLB
(MLB) Yankees (NYY) vs. Royals (KAN),
Total: 7.50 | -115.00 Over
Result: Loss
T.M. Selection: Yankees/Royals OVER.

1) The pitcher for the Yankees is Gerrit Cole here. He struggled against the Royals in Game 1 of this series and now has to face them at Kansas City.

2) The pitcher for the Royals is Michael Wacha. He also had a rough outing in Game 1 of this series as he struggled with command of his pitches against this potent Yankees lineup.

3) Wacha facing a Yankees team that has now won 8 of 12 games and averaged scoring 5.5 runs in last 11 games of that run! The last two games in this series have been unders but this followed 8 of 9 Yankees game totaling 8 or more runs.

4) I like the value here plenty with this low total at 7.5 runs. Overall the Royals have often struggled at the plate late in the season and into the post-season but their confidence level at Cole is high now and they get him at Kauffman Stadium this time around!

T.M. Prediction: 6-5 Yankees.

Line: 7.5
