Bit of a tricky spot for the Dodgers at the end of a six-game trip and Freddie Freeman getting the day off. It's a bullpen day as well. Kansas City's Kris Bubic is pitching way above his paygrade with a 2.18 ERA overall and 1.40 during the day. That won't be sustained but we don't even need a win. The Royals' bullpen is in good shape in terms of availability to keep this a potential one-run game, which is all I care about. The Royals have played in 26 one-run games and the Dodgers 24.
