Wahoo, Here Come The Royals!

After the Royals defeated the O`s 4-2 yesterday and won the series 2 games to 1. They head into Cleveland to take on their division rival the Indians. The Indians are 26-21 on the season and lead the Division by just half a game over the White Sox, who are 26-22. As for the Royals, they are 19-27 and only 6.5 games out of first. They look to come into Cleveland and Continue their winning ways as the Royals are 2-1 in Cleveland this season. So lets get to todays match up.

Today at 3:05pm Clevelands Josh Tomlin will play host to the Royals Nate Adcock. Tomlin is 1-2 on the season with a 4.67 ERA and For Adcock, he is 0-2 with an ERA of 2.33. Tomlin will be making his first appearance since April, when he went on the 15 day DL with an injury to his right wrist, As for Adcock. He's back on his third recall from the minors after being skipped in his last turn of the rotation. Look for a good game here, as it could go either way with these two pitchers, but remember Cleveland is coming off a 3 game sweep by the White Sox, in which they were out scored 35-16 and the Royals , they are continuing their winning ways on the Road and look to keep prevailing in Cleveland tonight.

Tomorrow, at 6:05pm the Indians Justin Masterson will host the Royals Will Smith. Masterson is 2-3 on the season with an ERA of 4.62, while Smith is 0-1 with an ERA of 13.50. Masterson is coming off his second win this season in his last outing against the Tigers on Thursday, as Smith gave up 5 runs and 3 homers in his MLB debut against the Yankees. These two look to improve and get the win, so look for another close game here.

and on Wednesday, may 30, 2012 These two teams wrap up game 3 of the series, as Jeanmar Gomez takes on Bruce Chen. Gomez is 3-3 this season with an ERA of  3.94, while Chen is 3-5 with an ERA of 4.81. Chen is 3-1 this month, giving his best performance since last season. As Gomez looks to get back to his winning ways after a loss in his last outing.

I predict the Royals win this series two games to one and the reason for this is, I think the Royals bull pen is starting to make a come around, as guys are being put into rotation and they are beginning to have fun. Not to mention the trim is on the bit of a downfall. look for close games but a royal victory instead of a tribal pounce.
