Royals Poised for Surprise Upset Against Rays: What’s Behind Their Unexpected Edge?
The Royals are another team that doesn’t have a ton or resources, and you could argue that over the past 20 years, they have been pretty successful. The problem is that just because they have had some success, it hasn’t been consistent at all. They are four games under .500 right now after coming into the season with the expectation that they would be one of the best teams in the American League Central. There is still time to turn it around, but they are going to need to get their offense and pitching staff both to improve – no small feat. Michael Lorenzen is taking the rock for them today. He enters the contest with a 4-7 record, a 4.81 ERA, and a 1.37 WHIP. Lorenzen has also been better at home this campaign, but he has only five home starts compared to 10 on the road, so it is a bit small of a sample size. Rays hitters haven’t been great against him, hitting just six for 33 over his career.
