The Dodgers head into Kansas City on a 10-game winning streak during which they have outscored their opponents, 70-25. They have the best record in baseball and have won 32 of their last 37 games. They will face a Royals team that sits in fourth place in a mediocre AL East and would be 31.5 games behind the Dodgers if they were in the same division. The Dodgers will send All-Star Tony Gonsolin to the mound against Royals lefty Daniel Lynch.
Joey Gallo is the only current Dodger who has faced Lynch, going 0-for-2 with two strikeouts and a walk.
