New York has won six of nine and is No. 1 in the majors in the bullpen (3.38 ERA). Starter Michael King (2.50 ERA) has 126 strikeouts in 100+ innings and is holding batters to a .216 average. Kansas City has the second-worst relief staff in the majors (5.25 ERA) and the offense is 24th in runs scored and 28th in on-base percentage. The Royals are 4-17 in the last 21 starts made by 39-year-old Zack Greinke (5.18 ERA). With Kansas City 19-56 after having lost two of three, plus 7-30 against teams with bullpen ERAs of 3.45 or better, this is an excellent matchup for the visitors. Play New York.
