Take Over the Total in the game between the Los Angeles Angels and the Kansas City Royals while listing both starting pitchers Joe Blanton and Ervin Santana. Los Angeles (19-27) has played 7 of their last 9 games Over the Total as an underdog. Additionally, the Over is 18-8-1 in the Angels' last 27 road games. They send out Blanton for perhaps the last time for awhile with the imminent return of Jered Weaver to their rotation. The right-hander has really struggled this season with an 0-7 record along with a 6.62 ERA and 1.97 WHIP. His struggles will likely continue against this Royals team that has seen the Over go 5-2-1 in their last 8 home games against right-handed starting pitchers. Kansas City (21-21) has seen the Over go 5-0-1 in their last 6 games with the Total set in the 9-10.5 range. The Over is also 5-2-1 in the Royals' last 8 home games against teams with a losing record. They counter with Santana who is 3-3 with a 2.77 ERA and a 1.08 WHIP so far this season. But while the veteran right-hander owns a sizzling 1.04 WHIP and .224 opponent's batting average on the road, these numbers do rise to a 1.13 WHIP and .257 opponent's batting average when at home. Lastly, the Over is a decisive 33-15-4 in the Royals' last 52 road games against right-handed starting pitchers. Take the Over while listing both starting pitchers.
