Minnesota Twins vs Kansas City Royals Prediction: Twins the Favorites

With the series balanced at 1-1, we all eagerly wait to witness the upcoming fixture, which is being played within 14 hours of the last game finished. It was the heroics of Polanco and Correa who steered the Twins towards the finish line. This will be the 9th occasion when Minnesota Twins take on Kansas City Royals. 

Twins would be feeling, over the moon, as they ended their two-match losing streak the other night. Twins will rely upon Chris Archer for tonight’s game, who has had 72 pitches and 46 strikes till now. Talking about the statistics, Minnesota are lacking behind in runs per game this season, which means their power hitters aren’t playing a significant role. The Twins have a 22-point worse slugging percentage and a 46-point lower OPS versus right-handed pitchers. To make matters worse, they’ve struck out in 26.2 percent of their at-bats this season against right-handed pitchers.

After recovering from these consecutive losses, Kansas City Royals managed to get their tails up in the game against Minnesota Twins (2-3). However, Kansas are again struggling to win and maintain consistency among themselves. What dented Kansas the most the other night was the 6th innings, in which they managed to score nothing. Bobby Witt Jr. will again be in the spotlight as he performed extremely well the other night.
