I am playing the Royals big here tonight. I really feel like we have the value in this match up with Charlie Morton going on the road to face Edinson Volquez who has been a very consistent starter this year. Volquez is no longer ace material, but he can look like that against the Pirates who are 21st in OPS against RHP. The Royals are 8th vs. RHP and will face Charlie Morton who has consistently struggled on the road. This is also the rubber game in the series and the Royals just have the hotter hitting and the better overall bullpen with the better starter. Volquez has a 2.95 ERA at home while Morton has a 8.20 on the road. The Royals are playing with plenty of confidence right now and are 52-23 in their last 75 games vs. a RH starter while the Pirates are 17-37 in Mortons last 54 starts as a road dog.

Where to find Freddy?
