The Kansas City Royals come into their matchup with Oakland having lost six of their last seven games. The Royal will be sending Jackson Kowar to the mound to face the A's. He did not pitch well in his first start and that is reflected in his 54.00 ERA and 0-1 record. He will be going against a hot Oakland team that has won seven of their last nine games. The A's will counter with James Kaprielian making the start. This season, he has posted a 2-1 record with a 3.08 ERA and 28 strikeouts.

The Royals are 1-4 in their last 5 road games and 1-5 in their last 6 overall. The Athletics are 5-2 in their last 7 home games and 6-2 in their last 8 overall. Kowar did not make it through the first inning in his first start, getting just 2 outs. Kowar should be better but the A's I feel should be a bigger favorite so I will bite on this number.

Play on Oakland.
