"Back home with a W. #TogetherRoyal" - Royals

Kansas City's Jonathan Heasley gets the nod on Tuesday night. He is 1-7 with a 5.61 ERA and will be making his 14th start. He has had a terrible year, and he'll look to shut down the Diamondbacks tonight.

Recently the right-hander's performances have been worse, surrendering 11 earned runs in his last 10 innings. The Kansas City righty has been bad in his home stadium and will have to figure it out as his club opens a new series.

Zach Davies gets the nod Tuesday for the Diamondbacks, holding a 2-4 record and a 3.99 ERA. Lately, the right-hander has been excellent, allowing just four earned runs in his last 15 innings. Davies didn't have a good outing in May versus the Royals, giving up four earned in 3 2/3 frames. Since then, though, he's been better, and he'll look to have a solid outing this time around.

Kansas City Royals vs. Arizona Diamondbacks Betting Prediction

The Diamondbacks haven't had a great year hitting-wise, but in games where they've accumulated 10 or more hits, they've gone 24-7. Heasley allows a lot of hits, and he is on a streak where he's given up six or more in his past three outings. That span is only 10 innings long as well.

Considering that the Royals' bullpen has a 1.50 WHIP, expect the Diamondbacks to have the edge despite being the road team. Arizona has won both meetings this year, so look for them to make it three in a row on Tuesday.

Prediction: Diamondbacks ML (-120)
