- Analysis
- The Royals are coming into this game with a 46-64 record this season and they have not been great in their recent games. They have lost 2 of their last 3 as well as 4 of their last 7 games and their offense has not been good in these. They have scored 3 runs or less in 2 of their last 3 as well as 5 of their last 7 games and their offense has struggled all season. Their pitching has been better recently, but they are coming off of a 4-3 loss to the Twins in their last game which their bullpen blew a 3-0 lead in the 9th and allowed 4 runs to lose. They are going up against a Rockies team that is 42-67 this season and they have not been good in their recent games. They have been awful recently as they have lost their last 4 straight as well as 5 of their last 6 games, but they are going to be hungry to bounce back in this series. They were better in their last series against the Padres despite losing both games and they are going to get up for this series as they actually have a chance to win a series here with the way the Royals have been playing. Michael Wacha is starting for the Royals in this game and he is 5-7 with a 3.60 ERA this season. He has been better in his last 2 starts, but prior to those he allowed 4+ earned runs in 2 straight starts and has been very inconsistent this season. He has been worse on the road this season as well, allowing at least 3 earned runs in 6 of his last 9 road starts. He has also struggled in 9 career starts against the Rockies as he is 3-2 with a 5.11 ERA and he is 0-2 with a 5.19 ERA in this ballpark. Tomoyuki Sugano is starting for the Rockies in this game and he is 10-4 with a 4.69 ERA this season. He has allowed 2 earned runs or less in 2 of his last 4 starts and he has done that in 5 of his last 10 starts, not getting blown up much in these as he has allowed 3 earned runs or less in 8 of his last 10 starts. He has also allowed 2 earned runs or less in 2 of his last 4 home starts, not allowing more than 3 earned runs in any of those, and he has been much better at home all season. He has 2 career starts against the Royals as well and he is 1-1 with a 2.38 ERA. The Rockies are going to be more motivated in this series with a chance to beat the struggling Royals and the Royals struggling offense will be the difference in this game. The Rockies will win this game at home.
