The Kansas City Royals vs Minnesota Twins
Game Prediction
The Pick: The Twins ML
Minnesota is looking to secure a series sweep as they enter this game following their dominant performances in the first two matchups. The Twins have taken the lead over the Royals in the AL Central and are now in close reach of Cleveland for the top spot. Boasting a remarkable home record of 36-23, Minnesota, guided by the exceptional Ober, is at the peak of their game. Conversely, Kansas City, with a 27-30 record on the road, is sending Ragans to the mound, who has shown inconsistency in his recent starts despite his solid overall statistics. With the Twins riding high on their current momentum and the declining form of Kansas City's pitching staff, a Sweep for Minnesota seems inevitable.
