Our Arizona Diamondbacks vs Kansas City Royals Prediction
Michael Wacha has struggled on the road this season, and it doesn’t help that he has historically struggled vs. the D-backs. In 89 at-bats against Arizona hitters, he allowed 28 hits for a .315 batting average; in nine appearances against Arizona, he has a 4.70 ERA. Ryne Nelson has been at his best at home and should keep the Royals' weak offense in check.
Our Royals vs. Diamondbacks Pick: Arizona -1.5
