Gambling911.com is all over the Royals vs. Rangers UNDER 9 with the number having dropped from 9.5 and still falling to 8.5 at press time.  The books were seemingly enticing action on the OVER since 85% were backing the higher number of runs.  The proper reaction one would think is to bring the number up to 10.

Five of the last seven in this series have gone UNDER the current total.  The UNDER is Under 11-2-3 in the last 16 meetings.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Royals RH Jeremy Guthrie (2-2, 5.70 ERA) vs. Rangers LH Ross Detwiler (0-4, 7.22)

Guthrie has made 17 career appearances (14 starts) against Texas, logging a 5-4 record and 3.40 ERA.

Detwiler is still in search of his first victory after taking the loss at Tampa Bay on Saturday, permitting five runs in four-plus innings.  He had limited Houston to just one run in his previous start. 

The UNDER is 19-8-2 in Guthrie’s last 29 road starts and 21-7-5 in Rangers last 33 home games vs. a right-handed starter.

Your hot DFS Commodity today would be Prince Fielder - You will want to build your roster around Fielder today, our sister site DFS911.com suggests.  He's batting at .336 currently and has gone 11-for-23 against the Royals Jeremy Guthrie for an average of nearly .500.  He's had four extra bases, four RBIs and a homerun over this time.  He's hit in nine of his last ten games coming into Tuesday.  Detwiler  has surrendered six homeruns in seven starts. Fielder is a bargain at $3300.
