Kansas City at St. Louis 8:15 ET
Royals over Cardinals- St. Louis like all other teams have a 'personal' rival and for the Cardinals it is the Cubs but, like the Yankees and teams with great traditions they have other 'rivals' that may take the meeting with a sterner attitude. The Red Birds have won the last three meetings and six of seven between the two but they haven't played since a year ago August 2019. The attraction tonight will be on the mound as St. Louis sends their emerging ace Jack Flaherty (1-0, 3.12 ERA) who is 2-0 with a 1.29 ERA against the Royals while Kansas City will send out Brad Keller (3-0, 0.00) who has allowed just eight hits in 17.2 innings of work. This season KC's bats are strong while the Cards have played only 17 games and they have only 14 homers to 31 by the Royals in 28 games. The Royals are also hitting 25-points higher as a team .249/.224. Heavy dog with a gander...take KANSAS CITY!
