KC/NYM O8.5 -123

Both the Royals and Mets lineups’ have been heating up coming into their matchup today. Within the last 7 days, the Royals are hitting .295 while the Mets are hitting .312. If you throw out the result from yesterday where both teams scored an abnormal number of runs (NYM – 16 & KC – 13), each of these teams have averaged 5 runs per game which would get us over this total.

Wacha and Severino are more than capable pitchers, but neither one of them has “shut down” type of stuff. Both pitchers in fact have played to the over in their career against each respectable team. Wacha is 5-3 in his career to the over against the Mets while Severino is 4-1 in his career to the over against the Royals.
