Oakland at Kansas City

Kansas City defeated the Athletics 6-4 on Wednesday as Hunter Dozier hit a two-run homer and totaled three RBIs for the Royals, who have a chance to even the series today. Glenn Sparkman has pitched much better at home where he owns a 3.00 ERA compared to on the road and Oakland will be facing him for the first time. The Athletics will likely be playing without Khris Davis, who is on paternity leave for up to three days. Chris Bassitt did not get the decision his last start when the Athletics lost 10-5 to the Giants. Oakland squandered two-run leads twice last night and they are laying too big of a price in this matchup. Play the home underdog Royals.
