Kansas City at Los Angeles

Kansas City is a young team that is getting closer and closer. And at one game under .500, they certainly have incentive to play hard here as they take on the LA Angels. The Angels have been an under-achieving team the last 2+ years. While they have played better this season, they are not taking advantage of their home turf where they are just 14-12 on the season. James Shields is finally getting some run support and he is 6-3 with an ERA of 2.67 on the season, and has allowed a total of 4 runs over his last three starts. Kansas City is 24-9 in his last 33 starts, including 6-1 in his last seven vs. a winning team. They're also getting it done on the road where the Royals are 16-5 in his last 21 starts. Back Kansas City in this one.
