Los Angeles at Kansas City

When you look up and down the rosters of the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Kansas City Royals, it is hard to find an edge in any category for the Royals. That being said, the Dodgers and their $200+ million payroll are just six games over .500. A win by the Royals tonight would make these teams even as we close in on the mid-point of the season. Clayton Kershaw comes with his own reputation for success, but he has been matched by Danny Duffy pitch-for-pitch this season. Duffy owns a 2.80 ERA on the season. The Dodgers have not been good behind Kershaw on the road against a team with a winning record at just 2-5 in his last seven against them. The Royals are a momentum team now at 9-1 when following a win in their last 10, and the Dodgers are a league worst 25-55 in their last 80 interleague road games. Take the Royals.
