Tampa Bay at Kansas City

The Tampa Bay Rays could find themselves in a vulnerable spot here vs. the Kansas City Royals. The Rays are not only off a series with division rival New York, but they are just 10-11 in their last 21 games overall. Hellickson has not pitched well against the Royals in his four career starts where he owns a suspect 4.85 ERA. Guthrie has been the top pitcher in baseball when it comes to taking the mound at home vs. a winning team. He has stepped up and delivered a 12-1 record for Kansas City in his last 13 starts in this spot, and overall, Kansas City is 25-12 in his last 37 starts. This has been a den of doom for Tampa Bay as they have dropped five straight here. Play on Kansas City.
