This is a pretty significant mismatch on paper with the Royals on the road where they are 12-31 facing the Guardians at home who are 21-21. Jordan Lyles is on the mound for KC who has been one of the worst starting pitchers in the league. He will be opposed by Tanner Bibee who has looked very good in his rookie campaign.

Kansas City is 1-15 this season when Jordan Lyles pitches. The Royals have lost those 15 games by an average of 2.31 runs. Cleveland is hitting .250 against righties at home in July, which should be good enough to get to Lyles.
