Pitching Matchup:

In this game, San Diego is giving the ball to right-hander Michael King (4-4, 4.09 ERA) in this game as they look for the sweep. The Royals are countering with lefty Cole Ragans (4-4, 3.36 ERA), looking to at least take one game in the series.

Prediction:

San Diego has been playing some good baseball but it's hard to sweep a team at home. Ragans has been pitching well of late, allowing more than two runs once in his last seven starts. He continues that pace here and the Royals avoid getting swept.
