Kolby Allard is starting for the Phillies in this game and he is 1-0 with a 3.46 ERA this season. He has only made 3 starts this season and he has not been bad in them. He allowed 3 earned runs in 4 innings in his 1st start of the season, but he has been much better since then as he has allowed just 1 earned run in each of his last 2 starts. Seth Lugo is starting for the Royals in this game and he is 14-7 with a 3.02 ERA this season, but he has not been pitching well in his last few starts. He has actually allowed at least 4 earned runs in 2 of his last 3 as well as 3 of his last 5 starts, and he has allowed 16 runs total in his last 3 starts alone as well. He has not faced the Phillies yet this season but the Phillies just scored 11 runs on Saturday and they also have one of the better offenses in the league to lean on here. The Phillies will win this game.
