I'll go with the Kansas City Royals tonight as my and the LB play of the day. The Yordano Ventura has been as hot this season and he's been even hotter down the stretch he's been solid on the road as well with a 3.17 ERA through 12 starts. What I like most about Ventura is the fact that he's got a 1.98 ERA in four career starts against the Indians who could not score a run last night.

The Indians got hot while the other changes in the playoff race got cold and they were suddenly 3 1/2 games out of wildcard spot with three games against the Royals ahead of them. However, they pretty much showed that opportunity away last night against the Royals as every one of their hitters was trying to be a hero swinging for the fences. I doubt they will be able to come up with much against an arm like Ventura.

The Indians starting pitcher is Danny Salazar and he has not been that great this season. When games of matter most down the stretch he's posted an ERA over five over his last three starts and he's got an ERA welder for in his career against the Kansas City Royals. The Royals actually are trailing the Detroit Tigers by just one game in the AL West and have plenty of opportunity to win the division which is highly coveted verse being a wildcard team.
