The Kansas City Royals host the Philadelphia Phillies at Kauffman Stadium on Monday afternoon, with their three game series delicately poised at one win apiece. 

The Phillies cruised to a 6-1 victory in game one, thanks to a dominant display on the mound from Jesús Luzardo. However, the Royals produced a much improved performance in game two to secure a memorable 5-2 success. 

That victory for the Royals snapped a four game losing streak, but they are still four adrift at the bottom of the AL Central and, barring a dramatic change in fortune, they are unlikely to force their way into postseason contention. 

The Phillies' playoff prospects look somewhat brighter, as despite Sunday's loss, they are still just two games back from the Braves at the top of the NL East table.

Our Kansas City Royals vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction

The Royals will have been delighted to have snapped their losing streak, but we cannot see them making it back-to-back victories against a Phillies side that will have the superb Cristopher Sanchez starting on the mound. 

When you also factor in the Phillies' clear bullpen superiority, plus their excellent road record this season, we think this is going to be a fairly comfortable win for the visitors. 

Our prediction for Kansas City Royals vs Philadelphia Phillies is: Phillies (-1.5) to win. 

Prediction:
