Kansas City at San Diego

The Kansas City Royals thought they were ready to make a run this season, but have disappointed thus far at 14-17. They blew a lead last night, and fell to San Diego 5-4 in extra innings. The Padres have to be fueled by momentum as they have recorded a pair of walk-off wins in a row. The Royals are heading south on a five game losing streak, allowing 39 runs in the process. Jeremy Guthrie has fallen apart after a 2-0 start, as he is winless in his last four, and his ERA has been 4.97 over the stretch. His 5.29 career ERA vs. San Diego looms ominous here as well. The Royals are now 3-15 in their last 18 vs. the NL West, and San Diego has a winning record at home on the season. The Padres have also owned the Royals here, winning seven straight. Play on San Diego.
