Both of the pitchers are coming off a strong start and it’s going to be much of the same here. Herz sits with an ERA of 3.82 and in his last start he gave up zero runs. Far too often this season he also hasn’t gotten enough run support and that will be much of the same here. This game is going to end up being lower scoring and the under is going to end up cashing with ease.
