Oakland at Kansas City

Two of the worst offenses in the AL square off, and each will be doing so with one of their top pitchers on the mound. Zack Grienke has made a splash this season, pitching to a 2.37 ERA. He has been extremely impressive at home, allowing just 17 runs the entire season, covering 12 starts. So how do the Royals lose his last six starts? It is because they have scored a paltry total of just 10 runs in the six games, or 1.66 a game. Then add in Brett Anderson of the A's who is really coming into his own. Anderson has pitched to a 1.93 ERA in his last seven starts, and pitching looks to be the order of the day in KC tonight. These teams have gone UNDER in seven of the last 10 played here, and I look for that trend to continue tonight. The UNDER gets the call.
