Starting Pitchers: Michael Wacha has been a steady presence on the mound with a 3.55 ERA, 85 strikeouts, and a WHIP of 1.20 over 96.1 innings pitched. He will need to bring his A-game against a potent Royals lineup.

Michael Wacha's more consistent performance on the mound, combined with the Diamondbacks' recent road success, gives them an edge over the Royals. Although the Royals have a potent offense, their starting pitching and relief pitching have been areas of concern. Based on these factors, the Diamondbacks are likely to cover the spread.
