The Diamondbacks are coming into this game with a 52-50 record this season. They are coming off of a 6-2 win against the Royals in their last game, but they have still lost 2 of their last 3 games. They are going up against a Royals team that is 56-46 this season, fighting for a Wild Card spot in a very tight AL race with a lot of good teams, and the Royals have been a very dominant team at home this season at 35-19. They are coming off of a 6-2 loss in their last game but that loss snapped a 4 game win streak coming out of the break, scoring at least 6 runs in 3 of those games. Their pitching has also been very good as they allowed 1 run or less in 3 of their last 5 games, averaging less than 3 runs allowed per game in their 5 games back from the break. Michael Wacha is starting for the Royals in this game and he is 7-6 with a 3.55 ERA this season. He pitched 7 innings in his last start without allowing a run and he has been very consistent recently as well. He has allowed 1 earned run or less in 4 of his last 5 starts as well as allowing 2 earned runs or less in 9 of his last 10 starts. He has also been much better at home this season as he has allowed 2 earned runs total in his last 3 starts there, 2 earned runs or less in each of his last 5 starts there, and he has allowed 2 earned run or less in 7 of his 8 starts at home this season. Ryne Nelson is starting for the Diamondbacks in this game and he is 7-6 with a 4.78 ERA this season. He has been pitching very well in July as he has allowed 1 earned run or less in 3 of his 4 starts, but he has also faced a lot of mediocre offenses other than the Dodgers. He has had some road starts this season which he has struggled in as well and this Royals offense has been very good at home all season, coming out of the break very hot as well. The Royals are going to find ways to score runs in this game like they have been doing at home all season while the Diamondbacks struggle to crack Wacha's consistency at home, and that will be the difference in this game. The Royals will win this game.
