Oakland at Kansas City

Kansas City still has an outside chance for a Wild Card spot, but the Royals are running out of time as Dillon Gee takes the mound against Oakland. The Royals have lost four of their last five home games and seven of their last nine home contests against left-handed starters. Ross Detwiler makes his first start for the Athletics since Aug. 31st when he gave up a run in seven innings against Houston. Detwiler pitched three innings against the Angels on Sept. 5th, but that was in relief. Gee is 0-2 with a 6.39 ERA in 12 2/3 innings in his career against Oakland. The Royals are still without Lorenzo Cain due to a wrist injury, and he might miss the rest of the season. We're getting good value with the road underdog. Play the Athletics.
