The Kansas City Royals were concerned when Bruce Chen went down with an injury, as they do not have deep pitching. They have to be very pleased the way Danny Duffy has responded to fill the void. Duffy is struggling for wins but is 1-3 overall with an ERA deserving of much more at 1.91 on the season. Duffy has allowed just 2 runs and 4 hits in his last two starts combined. The obvious issue here is support, as the Royals' offense continues to struggle, and has produced just 4 total runs in their last three games, and have gotten very little with Duffy on the mound. The Orioles have played 20-8 to the UNDER in their last 28 vs. a losing team. These teams have now played to a 15-5-1 mark to the UNDER in their last 21 meetings, inclluding 5-0-1 to the UNDER in the more spacious park in Kansas City. Back the UNDER.
