THE INSIDERS ROOM'S 10* AFTERNOON TOTAL BLOWOUT (+500 ALL PREMIUMS)
(MLB) Chi White Sox vs. Kansas City, 09/06/2020 2:05 PM, Score: 8 - 2
Total: 10.50 | 102.00 Under
Result: Win
This is a 10* TOTAL BLOWOUT on the UNDER White Sox/Royals.

Granted Royals' starter Matt Harvey (0-0, 15.43 ERA) is a "gas can," but I think the only way his performance can go is in a positive direction moving forward.

Harvey has the drive and motivation to be better here. But this play has almost nothing to do about Harvey for me, it's based upon the fact that the Royals are very inconsistent at the plate and now they face Chicago's "ace," who I believe will go deep into this one.

Dallas Keuchel (5-2, 2.42) has a 1.12 WHIP and 30/12 K/W so far and note that he's been particularly effective on the road by going 2-1 with a 2.24 ERA.

I think the stage is set for Keuchel to throw a gem and I believe Harvey will improve slightly here as well. Combined with the Royals' general ineptitude at the plate from game-to-game and everything does indeed point to the UNDER as the correct call in this one!

Good luck, NP
