(969) Milwaukee Brewers at (970) Kansas City Royals
The Royals open a three game set with the Brewers. Kansas City starts Cole Ragans. Ragans has been very good to start the season and he's allowed one run or less in three of his last four starts. His lone bad start was against the Orioles. But Ragans is facing a Brewers team that scored the third fewest runs against lefties this season and batting just .198 against them on the year. Milwaukee also has the 7th highest strikeout percentage against lefties this season. Ragans is backed by a Royals offense that has scored the most runs at home against righties this year against the lowest strikeout rate as they face right-hander Bryse Wilson. Kansas City has the third highest batting average at home against right-handers and is third in OPS. This all sets up nicely for the Royals who were home yesterday and didn't have to travel. Coming off two straight losses, the Royals have only lost three straight at home once this season.
