Cleveland at Kansas City

Cleveland has lost six of nine after a 6-2 defeat against the Royals last night. Bobby Witt Jr. homered in a four-run fourth inning, and the Guardians were held to five hits. Cleveland has scored three or fewer runs in seven of its past nine games. The Guardians have lost 12 of 18 road games at Kansas City. The Royals have turned it around following a slow start to the season, winning eight of 10 and four in a row to climb within 1 1/2 games of first place in the AL Central. Noah Cameron already has faced the Guardians once this year and gave up a run on six hits in 5 2/3 innings. Gavin Williams has a 0.89 ERA at home, but it rises to 4.30 on the road. Kansas City's bullpen is #2 in the American League with 12 saves. Cleveland is 9-11 in road games. Take the Royals.
