Kansas City at Houston

The defending champs got a win here last night for their fourth win in five contests. The Royals are 36-17 against the AL West. Yordano Ventura (3.60 ERA) takes the mound with excellent stuff and the Royals are 36-17 in his last 53 starts. Kansas City has it all, speed on the bases, defense in the field and great bullpen arms. I can't trust Houston's 33-year-old starter Scott Feldman (9.00 ERA), coming off an injury-plagued campaign and then throwing badly in his first start. Feldman (0-1) surrendered five hits, four earned runs and three walks over four innings in Friday's 6-4 loss to the Brewers. Last season he had a losing home record with a 5.40 ERA with opponents hitting .316 off him in this park. The Astros are 19-39 against a team with a winning percentage above .600, so grab the champs in the role of dog -- again. Play Kansas City.
