Kansas City at Minnesota

Both these teams have had some big moments this season, but when you look at the standings and playoff prospects for these teams, they are quickly disappearing. Kansas City dropped the opener of this series in Minnesota 9-4. The Royals' once-reliable pitching has allowed five runs per game over their last five games. Minnesota has broken free from a 1-5 stretch over six games, to rally back for three straight wins. There is a problem here for Minnesota, as the Twins have misplayed as a dog. They are just 15-24 when posted as a dog from +100 and up. Kansas City likes playing at home at night, where they are 18-9 on the season. I like Kansas City.
