The pitching matchup in Cleveland this evening suggests many will cross the pay station as the Royals visit Chief Wahoo's bunch.

Adam Bernero, the Royals starting pitcher, has been recalled from the minors to make an appearance this evening. Bernero has never impressed me and always looks like a candidate to be blasted every time he takes to the hill.

The KC right-hander is 0-1 with an ugly looking 36.00 ERA on the season. He's 10-27 in a 147 major league outings along with a bloated 6.07 ERA.

His mound opponent from the Tribe, Paul Byrd, has been in less than stellar form of late as is evident by a performance that has seen him allow 20 runs and 43 hits in his previous five starts, a span of just 25 innings.

Considering the pitching matchup, it will be easy for me to back this contest going over the set total.

Play: OVER 10.5

The Royals have hit Byrd this year and Bernero flat out sucks. I can see the over cashing.
