Volquez faces Hahn in tonight's matchup. The Royals have continued their success this season as I thought, in majority part due to their outstanding defense.  They also bring a dangerous relief pitching corps to the O.Co.  With one of their guys featuring a sub 0.50 ERA with over 30 innings pitched.  The one weakness the Royals seem to have is their Starting Rotation does not really have any outstanding arms and they can be hit early.  If the A's can manage to do some early damage and hold on for the win, I foresee them taking at least 2 games of this series including the one tonight.

Roboter (8-14) is smoking hot all of the sudden, not only on a win streak but coming within only a few runs of the totals over the last several games.  Tonight Roboter says: A's 8, Royals 1.
