You may want to bet the Royals-Astros OVER 8.5 Tuesday night and here is why…
PITCHING MATCHUP: Royals RH Kris Medlen (2015: 6-2, 4.01 ERA) vs. Astros RH Mike Fiers (0-0, 9.00)
Medlen has yielded three runs and 10 hits over 8 2/3 frames in three career games - one start - against Houston.
Fiers lost his only career start against Kansas City on June 17, allowing six runs and eight hits in five innings. The OVER is 6-2 in Medlens last 8 starts overall.
The OVER is 6-1 in the Royals last 7 road games vs. a right-handed starter and 5-1 in Astros last 6 after scoring 5 runs or more in their previous game.
Houston has homered in each of its seven games, which is a team record to start a season.
