Taijuan Walker is starting for the Phillies in this game and he is 3-4 with a 5.69 ERA this season. He has not been awful this season, but he has consistently allowed more runs in his recent starts which will be a problem against this Royals offense that has been much better at home. Walker has allowed at least 3 earned runs in each of his last 4 as well as 7 of his last 8 starts. He has also been much worse on the road, allowing 9 runs total in his last 2 road starts and 16 runs total in his 4 road starts this season. Michael Wacha is starting for the Royals in this game and he is 10-6 with a 3.33 ERA this season. He has been very consistent all season and has not been allowing many runs recently either. He has allowed 2 earned runs or less in each of his last 4 as well as 5 of his last 6 starts, and he is coming off of a start which he allowed no runs in. Wacha will do enough to keep the Phillies from scoring a lot of runs while the Royals offense gets to Walker and the Phillies bullpen for some runs here at home. The Phillies have not been great recently either, losing 3 of their last 4 games, while the Royals have been hot with 6 wins in their last 7 games and an offense that has been scoring runs. The Royals will win this game at home.
