The Kansas City Royals have played well as they head to the desert just 1.5 games off the pace set by the Toronto Blue Jays for the second Wild Card spot. The Royals' offense has been the issue this season, but they caught a break in their last series vs. Oakland, where they won tow of three despite scoring a total of 8 runs in the series. That poor offense has resulted in Danny Duffy having a 5-10 record despite pitching to a 2.42 ERA on the season. Duffy is also just 1-5 over his last eight starts. Wade Miley started slow this season, but is pitching his best baseball of the season, and has been rewarded with four wins in his last five starts. Kansas City plays down to the level of competition as they are 16-36 in their last 52 on the road vs. a team with a home winning percentage of less than.400. Take the Diamondbacks.
