Kansas City is last in runs scored, #27 in on-base percentage, and #28 in slugging. The Royals are on a 20-45 run at home, as well as 14-47 against a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30. Getting out of the National League hasn't helped Kansas City starter, Jorge Lopez, allowing 13 hits, 5 walks, and 7 runs in 9+ innings with his new team. He faces a Cleveland offense that is third in runs scored, fifth in on-base percentage, and third in slugging. Starter Shane Bieber has been sharp on the road all season with a 38-9 strikeout to walk ratio in 41 innings. The Indians are 14-4 away against a right-handed starter, plus 35-17 versus Kansas City. Look for a big bounce-back trouncing by the first-place visitors. Play Cleveland on the runline.
