im a kc native and royals fan, over is probably the best play on this game today, francis is no improvement to a bad rotation that doesnt get much more help for the bullpen, the hitters have potential but are still young and vulenrable, basically i can never trust putting money on the royals, but for anyone that has a book overing game 2nd half totals, take the over, normally the royals pen gets rocked or the royals finally start scoring at the end of the game
