The PLAY: Total Over 7.5 (-110) Action
Though these teams were off on Monday, we saw a lot of scoring across MLB last night and this matchup on the mound hardly suggests a pitching duel tonight.
Cole Ragans (5.91 ERA) has had a bit of a bumpy go for the Royals while losing his first three starts and couldn’t even get out of the first inning last Wednesday at Cleveland in an eventual 10-2 loss to the Guardians. Meanwhile, so far not so overwhelming for Framber Valdez in his new Tigers uniform, especially last Wednesday vs. the Twins when allowing 8 runs and 10 htis across just 5 IP of an eventual 8-6 loss.
Both were also involved in higher-scoring games on Sunday after a succession of lower-scoring affairs, especially in the case of KC (which faced the low-scoring Chisox in a tedious series that finally awakened on Sunday with 11 combined runs). We look "over" 7.5 runs and use -110, and would keep this in play up to -115. Play Royals-Tigers “Over”
Consultant Bio
Bruce Marshall's name has become synonymous with The Gold Sheet. With a background in play-by-play work and sports information while in college, Bruce joined TGS in 1981 when hired by the legendary Mort Olshan. He learned the business by working alongside Mort and the other TGS handicappers and continues at TGS, where he has worn many hats over the years. Not only is Bruce the Executive Editor at TGS, he's also the Editor of Goldsheet.com and The Gold Sheet EXTRA!!! (a publication he helped launch in 1982), as well as serving as Editor-in-Chief of European Soccer Weekly.
Bruce's unique and colorful brand of football and basketball analysis, as well as informed commentary on the national and international sports scene, has made him an in-demand guest for many years on numerous sports talk radio and TV shows across the country. Bruce's vast array of editorial work is featured not only in the TGS publications, but various other print and online publications, and his analysis is often featured in the Las Vegas Review- Journal. Bruce, who is also in the midst of several book and media projects, combines all of his work while traveling between Virginia and his official hometown of Henderson, NV.
