The Kansas City Royals are one of the best home teams in baseball (34-18) and they've come out strong from the All-Star break, outscoring the Chicago White Sox 17-3 through a three-game sweep over the weekend.

As home favorites laying -150 or more, they are 19-5 and 4-1 as home favorites with left-hander Cole Ragans (6-6, 3.16 ERA) on the mound.

They have a solid pitching edge with Ragans going up against inexperienced right-hander Yilber Diaz, who will make just his third career start.
