The Royals have won three straight coming into this series, while the Indians are just 5-5 in their last 10. Still, Cleveland is making a push to lock up the AL Central this week. They send Tomlin to the mound, who has been struggling, but so is Volquez. The Indians should put up plenty of runs against the Royals, while KC doesn’t have the lineup to keep up in this game. Expect Cleveland to win by a few runs tonight.
