Arizona Diamondbacks vs Kansas City Royals Prediction

I’ll likely try the Royals I suppose. Ragans is doing well over his last two starts. In that pair combined Ragans is 1-0 with three earned runs in 14.0 innings on nine hits and four walks. As for Diaz, he’s coming off one earned in 6.0 innings during his first victory versus the Blue Jays.

On Sunday the Royals didn’t have to tap into their pen at all thanks to Lugo. The offense was good as well, even though it took the bats a little while to open up. I like KC to keep it rolling Monday with a fresh pen.
