Kansas City at Cleveland

Neither the Royals nor the Indians have had much to brag about this season, but there is one glaring difference between these losing teams. The Royals continue to play hard and get results at 2-23 over their last 48 games, despite a five-game losing streak coming into this one. They have also taken seven of the last eight vs. the stumbling Tribe. Cleveland started strong, but came apart early and are a woeful 15-42 over their last 57 games. The Royals have taken charge vs. lefthanders at 11-5 in their last 16 against them, while Cleveland is just 6-20 in their last 26 after scoring 5 or more in their last game. Play on Kansas City.
