Arizona at Kansas City

Joe Saunders has some gaudy road numbers. But a closer look calls them into question, as his overall body of work beyond that is suspect. Saunders has pitched on the road vs. two of the worst NL offenses in San Diego, and Washington, as well as Miami when they simply couldn't score. This will be much different, as the Royals can swing the bats - especially at home. The Royals’ bright spot has been their interleague play at home facing a left-hand pitcher. The Royals have risen above their sub-.500 annual stature to go 9-3 in the last 12 when they have been in this spot, and overall they have shown a lot of bite in the role of a dog where they have cashed their last four. Play on Kansas City.
