Atlanta has won the past six meetings with the Royals, who have scored only one run the first two games of the series and they have scored more than two runs just twice in 10 games. The Braves won 2-1 on Saturday when Travis D'Arnaud hit a walk-off home run with one out in the ninth inning and they moved one game ahead of New York and Arizona in the wild-card race. Kansas City still can get the No. 5 seed with a win and a Detroit loss, but the Royals have stopped hitting. The Braves are peaking at the right time with a five-game win streak while allowing a total of just eight runs. The Royals have lost nine of 12 and today's starter, Alec Marsh, didn't last through the third inning his last start on Sept. 18 in a loss to the Tigers. Take the Braves.

Atlanta at Kansas City

Kansas City and Zack Greinke will try to salvage the third game of the series and the due factor is in his favor as he has pitched well this season with nothing to show for it. Greinke has given up just six earned runs in 16 1/3 innings, but the Royals have scored only two runs in the three games. Greinke has a great history at Kauffman Stadium as he hasn't given up more than two runs in 19 of his past 21 starts. The Royals have an opportunity to score some runs today as Atlanta is starting Kyle Wright, who allowed four runs in three innings against Cincinnati in his only appearance this year. Kansas City is getting a good price as the home underdog and take the Royals.

Kansas City will look to Kris Bubic to even the series after the Braves won 10-3 on Friday night. The due factor is in his favor as he has pitched well his first two starts with nothing to show for it. Bubic has allowed only two runs on nine hits in 11 innings, but has gotten little run support. Bryce Elder hasn't allowed a run in 12 1/3 innings for Atlanta and the Royals will be seeing him for the first time and Bubic will be making his first appearance against the Braves. Atlanta is missing two key players in Travis d'Arnaud (concussion) and Orlando Arcia (wrist). Kansas City has scored 18 runs its past three games, which is a big improvement from earlier in April. Take the Royals on the run line as a Max Play.
