San Diego Padres vs Kansas City Royals Prediction: A home win for Padres

Monday's MLB game at Petco Park features a matchup between the Kansas City Royals and the San Diego Padres.

The San Diego Padres have scored 3 runs or fewer in 5 straight games and 4 runs in their last 3 games. When scoring three runs or fewer, the Padres have dropped their last 11 games. With 40 hits and 15 RBI, Xander Bogaerts leads the Padres, while Juan Soto and Manny Machado have combined for 73 hits and 38 RBI. The pitcher is Michael Wacha, who has a season record of 3-1, a 4.82 ERA, and 30 strikeouts. The Padres have lost their previous four games and are 2-5 in their last seven interleague contests. In the Padres previous 30 games overall, the under is 22-7-1.

The Kansas City Royals have scored four runs or more in nine of their previous twelve games, including 10 runs in their last three games. When scoring four or more runs, the Royals have won four of their previous five games. Vinnie Pasquantino and Bobby Witt Jr. have combined for 82 hits and 37 RBI, while Salvador Perez leads the Royals with 43 hits and 23 RBI. The Royals have a record of 14-37 overall and 15-42 in their last 57 road games. Overall, the Royals' last five games have gone 4-1 under.

Given their recent offensive lull, it is challenging to support the San Diego Padres in this wager. However, the Padres no longer face the Dodgers, and if they want to be taken seriously, they must make the most of home games like this one. We will have to support the Padres in this case because the Kansas City Royals are in bad shape.
