The Kansas City Royals are a terrible 24-40 on the road this season while getting outscored by a whopping 1.25 runs per game, and they are 3-7 in their last 10 meetings with these Oakland Athletics at McAfee Coliseum.

Oakland took the series opener 8-5 here last night, marking the third loss in four games for the Royals, all of which were by at least three runs. Moreover, the only Kansas City win in this stretch was started by Zack Greinke, and their Tuesday starter Kyle Davies is nowhere near that class.

Davies has had some good moments, but just as he has for his entire career, he is maddeningly inconsistent. Yes, he has two Quality Starts in his last three outings, but that still leaves him with a 5-9 record, a 5.94 ERA and an equally brutal 1.55 WHIP overall this season. Also, true to form, he has alternated good starts and bad starts, putting him in line for a bad one today.

Now granted, Oakland starter Edgar Gonzalez does not have pretty numbers himself, but he did earn this return to the rotation by pitching well in nine of his last 10 outings out of the bullpen. If we toss out his one bad effort during this time, he has a good 3.37 ERA over the other nine appearances. It also helps that the Royals are hitting nearly 20 points lower vs. right-handers (.266) than vs. left-handers (.285) over the last 10 games.

Look for the Kansas City road struggles to continue tonight.
