Kansas City at Oakland

The Royals are within a game of getting out of the basement in the AL Central, but road woes are what put them there in the first place. This young KC lineup is finding life difficult on the highway, managing just a 24-44 mark for the season. Oakland finds themselves an even dozen south of the coveted .500 mark, but have shined brightly at home with a 38-30 mark on the season, extending to 16-9 here vs. sub-.500 teams their last 25. The Royals’ road woes extend back to a disappointing 32-71 mark in their last 103, and at their worst with a total set from 7-8.5 where they are 12-41. The A's are hitting the mark at 41-18 in their last 59 at home vs. a road team that plays under .400 on the highway. Harden is adding the exclamation point with a 45-14 mark at home as a favorite. Harden has taken the cash four straight times vs. the Royals. Oakland gets this one.
