KC has lost five of six games as they have had the recent pleasure of playing series against Texas, the White Sox and Minnesota. Both starters here have had poor seasons (Carlos Silva is 7-9 with a 6.49 ERA and Runelvys Hernandez is 2-6 with a 7.87 ERA). But, Silva has had a few decent starts as he's 2-0 with a 4.96 ERA in his last three while Herndez has gotten worse (8.81 ERA in his last three). Slight edge to Silva here. Offensively Minnesota has been poor on the road this season but they are scoring 6.4 per game over their last seven so they have some momentum coming into this one. They are also 41-25 vs. right handed starters this season while KC is just 30-48 vs. righties. Minnesota has a huge bullpen advantage too should both teams go to the pen early (quite likely). Minnesota enjoys the favorite role as they are 42-15 this season laying -110 or higher. Twins here.
