8/10 St. Louis Cardinals @ Kansas City Royals 7:10pm EST

Royals TT over 4.5 -102 (1.5u)

Andre Pallante took the mound for the Cardinals last time out against the Royals on July 10th in St. Louis, delivering a solid 6.1 innings while giving up four runs on six hits, including a homer. He kept the walks down to zero and struck out five. Despite his efforts, the Royals managed to add two more runs against the Cardinals' bullpen and snagged a 6-4 win.

The Royals have had a decent amount of looks at Pallante, with 30 at-bats hitting .267 and a .290 on-base percentage. They're coming into this game with some momentum, despite a loss yesterday. They still managed to hit their total team over and racked up 10 hits. They were particularly effective with runners in scoring position, going 3 for 5, though they did leave seven runners stranded.

Given their recent form and yesterday's performance, expect the Royals to continue their strong hitting as they face the Cardinals again. They seem to have a good read on Pallante and could leverage that familiarity to keep their bats hot in this matchup.
