The surging Chicago Cubs will be confident of maintaining their playoff push when they visit the struggling Kansas City Royals for a three game series that begins on Friday night.
The Cubs are currently on a four game winning streak that has enabled them to move to within five games of the Brewers at the top of the NL Central table. That fine run of results has also helped Chicago establish a clear lead in the race for a Wild Card spot, but given the excellent form being displayed by the likes of Arizona and San Diego, a lot of work is still required before Chicago can be assured of their playoff berth.
KC's postseason hopes are essentially over, so the end of the regular season cannot come soon enough for the beleaguered franchise. The only saving grace for KC has been a respectable home record that has seen them win 50% of their games at Kauffman Stadium this season.

Our Kansas City Royals vs Chicago Cubs Prediction
While KC have been solid at home in recent weeks, it is important to remember that they have had a relatively soft slate.
Overall, the Cubs are a far stronger franchise, so we fully expect them to record a comfortable victory on Friday night.
As you would expect, Chicago are a very short price for the win, but such is the gulf in quality between the two teams, we are confident that they will do more than enough to cover the 1.5 run line.
Our prediction for Kansas City Royals vs Chicago Cubs is: Cubs (-1.5) to win.
