It is hard to believe that the New York Mets were a team that was considered to be a potential playoff team. However, the Mets really are not that great of a team and when playing on the road the Mets are 10 games under the five hundred mark on the year. The problem is the Mets are actually doing really well on the year overall and the road is the major trip.
The Royals are a team that did not really look like they would be able to do that well at all. However, playing with the Tigers in the same division has actually helped the Royals out quite a bit on the year as the Royals are over the Tigers by 5 games. That actually makes the Royals feel quite a bit better this year and that could make it easier for the Royals to have a chance in this game, even as they are 14 games under the five hundred mark.

The Mets are not that great of a road team, but the Mets are a team that should be able to win this game as the Royals are a team that has not been that impressive at home or away. Not to mention Sparkman is the pitcher that has not been that good for the Royals at all and that will definitely show up in this game, even with a struggling Mets offense. Final Score, New York Mets win 6-4.
