Kansas City's pitching staff is ninth in ERA (3.85) after winning the last two games 4-1 and 7-1. Starter Michael Wacha (3.50 ERA) has allowed three runs or less in 14 straight outings. He's allowed two runs in his last three starts (20 innings). Wacha is 5-0 UNDER the total when he faces a team with a losing record. He faces a Cincinnati offense that is 14th in runs scored, 25th in on-base percentage, and 15th in slugging. Batters are hitting just .224 off Nick Lodolo, who has a 111-to-32 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 108+ innings. The bullpen is fourth in the majors in ERA (3.55). The Reds are 5-0 UNDER the total against winning teams, plus 5-0-1 UNDER in interleague contests versus a righty starter. Play Kansas City/Cincinnati UNDER the total as a Max Play.
