The Royals are in need of a win, off a win last night, however they lost a makeup suspended game so they sit a game behind Detroit for the AL Central lead and 2 games up on Seattle for the AL Wild card. While the Tribe would love to spoil the Royals party and put a monkey in the wrench of the Royals post season plans, I like Ventura on the hill for KC tonight who has been in excellent form recently. 20 innings pitched, 14 hits and an ERA of 1.80 his last 3 starts, not bad considering I feel he will be the starter with run support tonight. Ventura has allowed 3 or fewer earned runs in each of his last 10 starts!
Cleveland counters with Danny Salazar who in his last 3 starts his ERA is a 5.09, but he did have a good outing against Houston last Thursday striking out 9, but I still lean KC here with their bats against right handers being very respectable in their last 5 games. KC is a road warrior, winning 17 out of their last 24 on the road, and while they have struggled at Cleveland, I think that trend reverse’s and KC wins a tight one and keeps pace in the AL Central and the wild card race. It is do or die for Kansas City and having 2 games up on Seattle in the wild card race in the AL, I see them keeping that spread after tonight regardless of what Seattle does, and they are a heavy favorite at Toronto tonight and have no illusions, the Royals players and coaches know that. KC shows up tonight determined and this is a very short number, pickem to a slight underdog.
