This is an 8* play on the KC Royals.

We like the Royals to build off their 5-4 win yesterday. The A's hand the ball to Daniel Gossett (0-3, 6.05 ERA) who gave up three runs off eight hits and two walks in a loss to the Rays on Tuesday. Note that Gossett has been especially horrible on the road this year with the enormous 13.50 ERA. The Royals go with Jake Junis (5-4, 3.61) who comes in off a hard-luck loss against the hard-hitting Twins on Monday, allowing three runs off six hits and four walks over six innings, also going on to strike out seven. Note that Junis has now posted at least seven strikeouts in four of his last five innings. Also note that he's a strong 2-1 with a 2.92 ERA in all day contests this year. The ROYALS have struggled to put runs on the board this season, but they broke out in a big way in yesterday's victory and we expect that momentum to get carried over here. Play on KC.
