  • Kansas City Royals are on a 7-game losing run
  • The Over has not cashed in 7 of Cleveland's last 10 games
  • The Over has not hit in 4 of Kansas City's last 5 games

  • Kansas City Royals won 7-1 when the two teams last met on September 3

Cleveland Guardians Form

Cleveland entered this series looking to build some momentum after a rough run of form in the second half of August.

The Guardians enjoyed a five-game win streak in mid-August, only to see their form collapse as they then lost six of the next seven.

They steadied the ship with 13-5 and 4-2 wins over Texas, but their joy was short-lived as they then lost three straight home meetings with Kansas City, 4-3, 9-4 and 6-1.

Cleveland avoided being swept as they took the final meeting 7-5, and they then backed that up with a 10-8 win over Pittsburgh.

The Guardians failed to make it three-in-a-row as they lost the next game against the Pirates, 3-0, but they did issue an immediate response with a 6-1 victory in the series finale.

Kansas City Royals Form

Kansas City came into this series in desperate need to a victory as they try to stay in the playoff hunt.

The Royals found some form last month as they won seven times in an eight-game spell – a run that included a five-game win streak.

They then responded from a couple of home defeats to Philadelphia with three consecutive wins in Cleveland, beating the Guardians 4-3, 9-4 and 6-1.

Kansas City missed out on the series sweep as they lost the final meeting 7-5, and that proved to be the start of a five-game skid.

The Royals moved on to Houston and were swept in a four-game series by the Astros, losing 6-3, 3-2, 5-2 and 7-2.

Verdict

Cleveland are the team in better form right now and just blew out the Royals last night, so we are riding with the 'hot hand'.
