Kansas City Royals vs Baltimore Orioles Prediction: Start to an Exciting Series

Kansas City Royals will take on Baltimore Orioles in an exciting home series. With 15-15 home and 9-18 away record, the Orioles stand 5th in the AL East standings. Royals also stand 5th in AL Central standings with 10-19 home and 8-18 away record. It’s quite explicit that both teams are really struggling to bag win points and do well in home and away fixtures. 

Kansas City Royals are coming off a series of defeat against Toronto Blue Jays at home. In the upcoming game, Kris Bubic is expected to start the pitching activity. However, their main concern lies with the hitter’s form as they are struggling big time. With a collective average of .300 base percentage, Kansas is ranked 9th in overall AL standings. This will be Kansas’s 4th appearance against the Orioles. Talking about Royal’s last 10 games, they have a batting average of .224 and a 6.17 ERA, which can be improved with time. 

Going in the game, Baltimore Orioles have won over Chicago Cubs (9-3), which was very impressive and reflected their preparations for upcoming games. Before that, the Orioles lost to Cleveland Guardians by a point in the series decider. Jordan Lyles, with a 4.65 ERA record, is expected to start the pitching for the Orioles. Austin Hays will be in the spotlight for the Orioles with 13 doubles, 7 home runs, averaging at .287. 

Going in the game, we can expect a close encounter with a score under 7.5 or 8.5. I will be backing the visitors to uphold their strong possession and win. All will depend on the pitching selection of both sides. 

• Baltimore Orioles to Win for 1.90
• Total Under 8.5 for 2.36
• A Single Pitcher Of Team Baltimore Orioles To Pitch During Whole Match And Let Team 1 Make 3 Or Fewer Runs for 1.588
