A pair of weak offensive teams clash here. Kansas City is #27 in runs scored and the Angels rank #21. The Royals have their best starter going in Jason Vargas (9-3, 2.10 ERA), who has great control. He has a 3.02 ERA in 16 career games against the Angels. The team is 16-5 UNDER the total when Vargas starts. The Los Angeles Angels are still without star Mike Trout (thumb). Angels starter JC Ramirez has been very good with 58 strikeouts against 16 walks in 12 starts this season. The UNDER is 17-7 when the Angels face a team from the AL Central, plus 47-32 UNDER against teams whose hitters draw three walks or less per game. Play this game UNDER the total.
