These two teams rang up a ton of runs on Friday. It is unlikely that the Royals at least will have the same success vs Josiah Gray on Saturday. He has bee very steady since his second start with a fine ERA and solid numbers of innings pitched. The only concern with the right-hander is his walks, with a very hefty 15 in May alone. He will face Singer who has been a major disappointment for the Royals this year. Singer has been hit hard in recent games with just one quality start in May. Opposing batters are teeing off at an alarming +.300 rate this season. He also is prone to walks.

The 1-6 Royals continued their struggles at home on Friday. The Nats are now 4-2, and leading the league in batting avg. over the last two weeks. The Royals are hitting just .176 against right handers over the last two weeks, and firmly in the cellar for overall offense this season. Neither bullpen is particularly effective. I'll take the better-hitting Nationals, with a more consistent starter to win again on the road on Saturday.
