Kansas City at Seattle

The Kansas City Royals have given the AL West division-leading Houston Astros more than they can handle. They took three of four from the Astros, and then on the road, they out-scored them in a three-game series. The Royals are not packing it in, and in fact, they are surging at 8-3 in their last 11 games. That includes taking the opener here last night against the Mariners 6-4. The Royals rotation has gotten hot, and their last 10 opponents have averaged below three runs per contest. Playing pressure-free and with confidence right now, I like Kansas City in this one. Play the Royals to win.
