The Kansas City Royals are in search of a win having lost five in a row. The Royal's losing streak can be traced to a lack of offense with them scoring just five runs in their last three games. They will look to stop the slide by sending Mike Minor to the hill. So far this season, he has posted a 4-3 record with a 4.84 ERA and 73 strikeouts. Against the A's he is 2-5 with a 3.60 ERA and 45 strikeouts.

The Oakland Athletics come into this game having won five of their last seven. The A's have been clicking having scored 10 runs in their last three games. The A's will counter with Frankie Montas on the mound. This season, he has posted a 6-5 record with a 4.52 ERA and 65 strikeouts. Against the Royals, he is 2-0 with a 1.62 ERA and eight strikeouts.

The A's have been playing well at home and the Royals have been struggling no matter where they play. Montas has had success against the Royals in the past and i will take the team playing better baseball and playing at home.

Play on Oakland.
