Both teams come in having won four of their last five games. The Phillies have found something good at the plate, putting up 7 runs or more in three of their last four. While the Royals have been winning, they have been doing it with pitching, holding opponents to 2 runs or less in the four victories. The Royals have Kennedy on the mound, who has a sub-1.00 WHIP in his last three outings. That should keep the Phillies from staying warm at the plate.
