Kansas City at Tampa Bay

Tampa Bay is still chasing down the final Wild Card spot, while the Royals may start to find themselves on cruise control with a huge lead in the AL Central. Jake Odorizzi gets the ball for the Rays today, and despite the fact that he has not won in August, he has allowed 3 or fewer runs in four of his five starts. Kris Medlen is pitching well after sitting out a long time, and he may offer a challenge here for the Rays. Odorizzi has been magnificent when a good effort is needed most at home, as the Rays own a 4-1 record in this spot in his last five. The Royals have never been effective here, owning a woeful 17-35 mark in Tampa in their last 52. Play on Tampa Bay.
