Kansas City at Cleveland

Much like last year, the Cleveland Indians came flying out of the gate, and at the quarter-pole they looked like a viable contender with a record of 26-18. It has been a steep drop off, as the Indians have been a painful 40-73 since. Jeanmar Gomez has not been the answer, as he has been shuttled from the pen to the rotation, and neither has worked out. He enters here at 5-8 with an ERA of 5.54. His last five starts are the reason why he has been in and out of the rotation, as he has allowed 21 runs in 22.2 innings for an ERA of 8.34. The Tribe is just 7-23 in their last 30 vs. a losing team and the Royals have been a big part of that as they have taken seven of the last nine meetings vs. Cleveland. I like the live dog in this one, so play on Kansas City.
