Money Line: -123.00 Kansas City (Home)
Result: Win
The Guardians are coming into this game with a 52-29 record this season and they are coming off of a 7-2 win against the Royals on Saturday, but they have not been playing that well recently. They have actually lost 3 of their last 4 games and their offense has not been very good in those 3 losses. They are going up against a Royals team that is 46-39 this season and they have been playing much better in their recent games. They are coming off of that 7-2 loss, but they have won 4 of their last 5 games and that includes the first 2 games of this series. They have also been much better at home this year at 29-16 there. Seth Lugo is starting for the Royals in this game and he is 10-2 with a 2.29 ERA this season. He has been very consistent all season and has not been allowing many runs in his recent starts. He has allowed 2 earned runs or less in each of his last 3 as well as 10 of his last 12 starts. He allowed 5 earned runs in a start against the Guardians earlier in June, but he will be looking to have a better performance as the Guardians offense has not been hitting as well recently. Logan Allen is starting for the Guardians and he is 8-3 with a 5.72 ERA this season. He has been allowing a lot of runs in his starts this season and he is coming off of one which he allowed 6 earned runs in. He has also allowed at least 3 earned runs in each of his last 2 as well as 4 of his last 6 starts. The Royals have been hitting well recently and they will be hungry to bounce back here as they have been much better at home all season and are starting to heat up again. The Royals will win this game.
