While both of these teams are towards the bottom of the MLB this season, the Kansas City Royals have way more talent on their roster as they have a solid bunch of hitters on top of their lineup. You may be quick to back the Orioles given Means respectable 3.76 ERA, but he has struggled a ton since the all-star break as he is 1-4 with an 8.34 ERA. The Royals have one of the top hitters in the AL in Jorge Soler as he currently has 35 HRs and 88 RBIs, but the production doesn’t stop there as Dozier, Gordon, and Merrifield all have over 60 RBIs on the season. Final Score Prediction, Kansas City Royals win 6-5.
