The Royals were playing decent baseball for awhile, but now they are mentally and physically beat up. The Royals have had a rough go of late, resulting in just one win in their last 12 games. It is hard to win when your team does not have a big offense, and the pitching has allowed six runs or more in more than half the games during this current swoon. The Orioles have not been able to break through on the road, but have been a much better than average team at home, with a 26-21 mark on the season. The Royals will call on Bruce Chen, who simply hasn't been the answer as he has led the Royals to an 0-5 mark in his five starts. This does not look like the spot for the Royals to stop the bleeding, so I'll go with Baltimore here.
