Michael Wacha is starting for the Royals in this game and he is 11-6 with a 3.50 ERA this season. He has been pitching well in his recent starts as he has allowed 2 earned runs or less in 5 of his last 6 starts. He is coming off of a start which he allowed 5 earned runs in against the Guardians on the road last week, but he only allowed 1 earned run in 5 innings against the Guardians at home earlier this season and he will be looking to bounce back as that game he started in last week was their only loss in that series. Gavin Williams is starting for the Guardians in this game and he is 2-7 with a 4.99 ERA this season. He has not been awful this season, but he has allowed 10 earned runs total in his last 3 starts and his last start was against the Royals at home last week, a game they lost 6-1. The Royals just got swept in 4 games by the Astros, but they won 3 out of the 4 games against the Guardians last week and will be pushing to win this series and cut down on the gap in the division as they have been much better at home. The Royals will win this game at home.
