The Royals will be going with Zack Greinke today after a few rough outings, which had to be expected, because no one pitches the way he did to start the season and sustains it. What it has done is drop the moneyline down and, looking at the full body of work, Greinke is still 8-2 with a 1.72 ERA. The Royals are off of a sweep of the Reds and have now won four straight at home. They also raised their mark to 16-5 in their last 21 interleague games. The D-Backs are slumping right now and enter here with three straight in the loss column and Scherzer has not been able to answer the bell on the road for the D-Backs as they are 2-8 in his last ten road starts and the tally against the American League Central for Arizona is 0-6 in their last six. I'm backing the Royals here behind Greinke.

2 units on Kansas City -1.5 runs +140 (runline) (risk 2 to return 2)
