Two teams with loyal fanbases, but who have had somewhat disappointing first halves, face off after the All-Star break at Kauffman Stadium when the Royals and the Padres meet.
The Padres entered the All-Star break with a 48-48 record. They remain in contention thanks, in part, to their elite bullpen. Although the season of their star batting trio—Merrill, Tatis, and Machado—has been underwhelming, they at least went into the break on a high note after taking the last two games against the Blue Jays. They rallied in the eighth inning to win that last game with an RBI single by Machado, followed by Ty France driving in the winning run, before Miller came in to claim his 25th save of the season.
The Royals entered the All-Star break with no team in MLB having a worse record than their 38-59. Even a wild-card berth seems unlikely. It's likely the team will part ways with veterans in the coming weeks before the trade deadline.

Our Kansas City Royals vs San Diego Padres Prediction
The Royals lost their last five games, dropping the final two of their series in New York against the Mets and then being swept by the Orioles.
Like the Padres, the Royals have a few bats that aren't performing well; superstar Witt Jr., at least, has a .286 batting average and 13 home runs, but he hasn't been matched by the bat of, for example, Pasquantino, who has had a forgettable season with only 6 home runs so far.
Our prediction for Royals vs Padres is: Under 10 runs.
