The Kansas City Royals begin a 9-game homestand with a 3-game series against the Miami Marlins tonight. Kansas City no longer has postseason aspirations, but the Marlins are still just 4 games out of the final wild card spot in the National League.
The Marlins had a rough finish to the month of August. They lost 5 of their last 7, including 3 of their 4 games against the Washington Nationals in their last series. They have not had the season they anticipated but are still within striking distance of that final wild card spot if they can catch the Padres and Diamondbacks. Tyler Phillips will start for the Marlins tonight and bring his 3-6 record with him. He is just 0-1 over his last 4 starts.
While Kansas City sits in last place of their division, they have looked like a better team lately. They won 12 of their last 14 games to close out the month of August. They have been able to win 5 straight series and look to continue that momentum as they take on the Marlins tonight and begin their homestand. Randy Dobnak will get the start for the Royals has been solid in his last 3 starts. He has given up just 3 earned runs in those starts.

Our Kansas City Royals vs Miami Marlins Prediction
Kansas City has quietly been the hottest team in baseball in late August. We like them to continue that momentum here and dispatch of the Marlins in the 1st game of their 3-game series tonight. Dobnak has been reliable in his last few starts and is carrying a great 1.92 ERA. Phillips has not had much luck this season, and we believe he will take another loss here.
