Picks for 8/16/24
MLB
6:40 PM EST
Rotation # 969-970
Royals/Reds Over 9.5 runs (loss)
Lorenzen/Martinez
Both teams have been hitting above average against right-handed pitching all season and hitting the ball with power well since the all-star break. The Royals bullpen has been an adventure this year, so Cincinnati should be able to break through late for additional runs if needed. Look for the hot-hitting to continue and both teams to do enough to make this a high-scoring game. Take the Over.
