Not only are the Royals in the thick of the Wild Card race, but they sit just 3 games back in the AL Central. After an 8-3 win over Pittsburgh to open their weekend series, KC will turn to Michael Wacha to help them on their quest to the playoffs. Wacha didn’t allow a run on just 4 hits over 7 innings in his last start as he’s put together a very nice season. The Pirates have lost 5 of Mitch Keller’s last 6 starts, and with the Bucs firmly out of the race, expect another Kansas City victory early Saturday. Take the Royals.
