Schule's 10* MLB Total Recall TERMINATOR - *EARLY START*
(MLB) Houston vs. Kansas City, 10/09/2015 11:45 AM, Score: 4 - 5
Total: 7.50 | 110.00 Over
Result: Loss
This is an 10* play on HOU@KC to go Under.

The Royals lost Game 1 at home by a score of 5-2 after a rain delay last night, but I think they are in a good spot with Johnny Ceuto on the mound in a matinee in Game 2.

Ceuto (11-13, 3.44 ERA) allowed one run on six hits over five innings in a win over the Twins in Minny in his last start of the season. He struggled after arriving in Kansas City, but he seems to be back on track, coming off four consecutive quality starts. His day/night splits aren't as dramatic this season, but he's been one of the best in the business in day games throughout his career. He was 25-4 with a 1.78 ERA in 37 starts in the afternoon over the last three seasons.

The Astros hand the ball to Scott Kazmir, who is also quite comfortable pitching in the afternoon. Kazmir (7-11, 3.10 ERA) has really struggled in the second half of the season, going 2-6 with a 3.86 ERA in his last 14 starts. The under is 5-0-2 in Kazmirs last 7 starts vs. a team with a winning record.

The Royals have won five straight versus left-handed starters, and they have gone under at a rate of 36-12-5 in their last 53 vs. a team with a winning record.

Take UNDER.
