Oakland at Kansas City

Oakland got the best of Kansas City in the opener behind a superb and dominating outing by Tom Milone. Jerrod Parker is 6-6 for Oakland and left his last start after just 48 pitches with a leg injury, and the jury is still out on how he will respond here today. Ervin Santana has won 16 or more games three times in his career. Finally this season he is showing why on a consistent basis with a 2.84 ERA entering this contest. Parker has not been very good when following a team loss in their last game, as he has led the A's to a dismal 4-9 mark in his last 13 in this spot. The Royals on the other hand, are getting a bounce after a loss where they are a perfect 5-0 in their last five. Play on Kansas City.
