00:07What a showdown we have between the Kansas City Royals and the Cleveland Guardians out to Ohio.

00:17It was the Royals that looked to found stride.
00:19Going on the road. Last three road games, three consecutive wins.
00:22Looking to make it a streak of four here today.
00:26Yeah, sometimes you've just got to ride the streaking teams here, Dubs.
00:28That's the way it is. And the Kansas City Royals are absolutely hot.
00:31But the Cleveland Guardians need a win in the absolute worst way.
00:34But I'm not so sure that they don't have the better picture on the mound today.
00:37If we take a look at Michael Wacca, a 2.47 ERA over the past 60 days.
00:41How about Tanner Bybee? 3.38.
00:44So slight advantage here to Kansas City in the ERA numbers and also in the analytical numbers.
00:49Bybee comes on the mound here.
00:51Hasn't really struggled all that much over the past 30 days.
00:53A 135 ISO against and a weighted on base percentage of 302.
00:57But what do we love about that Kansas City lineup?

01:04Going up against right-handed pitching over the past 30 days.

01:14Sometimes, Dubsy, you've just got to ride the hot hand.
01:17And that right now is with those Kansas City Royals.
