The Royals have won 5 straight games, including 2 against the gutted Mets. While it doesn't always translate immediately, you've got to think that the Mets will struggle. KC is hitting well for average, and at least average for power over the last two weeks, outpacing the Mets. Royals right-hander Singer has had more quality than poor starts in July. He has a 3.79 ERA since the All-Star break, and his strikeouts are up, with 19 K's to 3 walks in his last two appearances. Mets' righty Carrasco is still struggling, allowing well over a run an inning in his last two starts. The Mets have the better bullpen. I like KC's chances today, especially early. Take the surprising Royals to build up a lead and hang on in the late innings. Royals to win three straight over NY.
