Both Kansas City and Houston snag rather high spots in ESPN.com's official break-down of all 30 teams (power rankings):

Royals (2): "No surprise: The Royals lead the majors in Defensive Runs Saved at +40, 11 more than the No. 2 team (San Francisco). Lorenzo Cain leads at +10 DRS, the fourth-best individual total in the majors." David Schoenfield, SweetSpot 

Kansas City currently maintains a steady 44-28 winning record, and remains 1st in the American League Central Division.

Astros (5): "Is Carlos Correa already the best shortstop in the American League? OK, it's a small sample size but the kid's first 20 games have been amazing: .314/.337/.593, 5 HR, 9 2B, 5-for-5 SB, just one error, +5 Defensive Runs Saved. Incredible." David Schoenfield, SweetSpot 

With that, Houston holds an impressive 44-34 winning record and snags the 1st spot in the American League Western Division.

Tonight's ballgame will be broadcasted live on local sports channels FSKC and RTSW.
