Kansas City at Tampa Bay

The Kansas City Royals have been an improving team, but they have a long way to go on the road. The Royals are strong at the top of the rotation with Meche, Greinke, and Bannister, but very weak past the top three. So weak in fact, that they have now dropped all 11 of their road games in the last 19 not pitched by one of the top three! The Rays were the top home team in baseball last year, and since losing a series in mid-April to the White Sox, have not lost a home series since. The Royals have not only lost their last 11 road games, without one of their big three starting, they are also in a slump that has seen them lose four straight games overall. I look for the Rays to win this one at home.
