Kansas City at San Diego

The San Diego Padres offense is going to kill them this season. Through 34 games, they are the only team that has not produced more than 6 runs in a game all season. It is unlikely that they will get anything going against James Shields who has a 3.11 ERA to start the season. The only team to get to him this season has been the hard-hitting Tigers, as Shield's other five starts shows he allowed 2 runs or fewer in all of them. Andrew Cashner has pitched admirably well for the Padres, but owns just two wins to four losses despite a 2.72 ERA on the season - a true product of no offensive support. The Royals are 8-1 in Shield's last nine road starts vs. a team with a losing record. Cashner has not been a stopper with the Padres, losing six of their last seven when he gets the ball following a loss. Take the Royals.
