Randy’s Pick
The Kansas City Royals can’t be trusted in either shape or form, but we’re getting a reasonable total with two bad pitchers. Brady Singer has a 6.33 ERA and 1.61 WHIP, while Matthew Boyd has a 5.60 ERA and 1.35 WHIP. We should see some fireworks from these teams for once, and again the total is a reasonable number. Give me the over in this spot.
