Mark Hamilton recommended betting the under (7.5 runs) in the matchup between the Royals and Guardians, highlighting multiple factors that suggest a low-scoring affair. He noted that both starting pitchers, Michael Lorenzen for Kansas City and Luis Ortiz for Cleveland, have recently rebounded from rough first starts and demonstrated improved form in their most recent outings. Lorenzen went 6 innings allowing just 1 run on 5 hits against a solid Minnesota offense, while Ortiz bounced back with a solid 6 innings, 3-run performance versus the Angels. Hamilton emphasized the struggles of both teams' hitters, as Kansas City ranks near the bottom with a .218 batting average and the Guardians aren't much better at .221. Additionally, each bullpen has been elite, with Cleveland boasting a stellar 2.17 bullpen ERA and Kansas City a strong 3.51 ERA, both ranking among MLB's top-10. Considering these pitching strengths and offensive deficiencies, Hamilton expects runs to be scarce.
