Kansas City at Houston 7:10 ET
Royals over Astros- I try not to let it influence me too much in anyway but I must admit that I like the pitching match-up tonight between these two contenders. Kansas City will start Cole Ragans (10-8, 3.28 ERA) who has 187 strikeouts in just 156 innings while impressively surrendering only 128 hits. Houston will send Blue Jays discard Yusei Kikuchi to the hill and he is 2-0 with an ERA of 2.89 in five starts with the ‘Stros after going 4-9, 4.75. Against KC he is 2-2 with a 5.80 ERA in eight appearances. The Royals had won six straight and 8-of-9 from Houston entering this series. Take KANSAS CITY!
