Home Sweepstakes!

The Royals were swept once again. That makes it their fourth time being swept at home this season. This two game slide, to the O`s, pushes the Royals back 6.5 games out of first. Sadly the Royals are still in contention for the playoffs right now. As the AL Central continues to Struggle all around. Injuries and Age, being young or simply being old, have gotten the best of this division this season, but lets get to tonight. As the Royals look to Start their last 3 games of their 5 game home stand by taking on the Diamondbacks. So lets break it down.


Tonight at 7:10pm you have Kansas City's Luis Mendoza Playing host to the Diamondbacks Joe Saunders. Mendoza has a Record of 2-2 with an ERA of 4.76. As for Saunders. He has a record of 2-3 and an ERA of 3.43. Both of these pitchers have struggled at putting away teams with outs on the Board, but they look to change that tonight as Mendoza did great in his last performance, where he went 5 2/3 innings only giving up 1 run. look for a close game here as two struggling pitchers go head to head.

For Saturday May 19, 2012, @ 6:10pm, It's Bruce Chen for the Royals hosting Ian Kennedy of the D-Backs. Chen is 2-4 this season with a 4.34 ERA as Kennedy is 3-3, posting an ERA of 3.81. Chen is cruising along now after an 0-4 start he is now 2-0 this month as he beat Boston and Texas, going 6 and 2/3 innings in each game. Look for another close game here as Chen looks to go 3-0 in the month of May and Kennedy looks to gain his groove back.

As for the final game of the Series, on Sunday May 20, at 1:10pm It will Be the Royals, Pitcher TBA once again, vs. Arizona's Wade Miley. Miley is 4-1 this season with an ERA of 2.52. Look for a close game here as the Royals are are looking to have another winning home stand.

In this Series I would like to see them get their second sweep of the season, but I see the Royals winning 2 out of 3 here. I say this only because of the pitching match ups, and the fact this young team is very unpredictable. So tune in tonight at 7:10, as Mendoza takes on Saunders, on FSN MidWest. Go Royals!
