Kansas City at Tampa Bay

The Tampa Bay Rays have the wheels in motion at home once again and they have been tough here. They have blitzed Kansas City in the first two games of this series by a combined score of 15-2, and the Rays have now won five of their last six at home by a combined score of 33-15. It’s needless to say that the pitching and hitting are both clicking. The Royals are once again in free-fall mode on the road. They have now dropped nine of their last 10 road tilts, and have been outscored by an amazing 55-14. That represents an average score of 5.5-1.4, or by over four runs per game. You’re not going to win too many games scoring just over one run per game. The Rays are killing the teams they should beat at home, as they have run their mark at home to 42-9 when favored in the range of -151 to -200. The Royals are just 7-21 in their last 28 in Tampa, and that included a lot of bad Tampa teams, which this one certainly isn't. I'm going with the Rays in this one.
