Free Betting Pick: Minnesota Twins -1.5 (-165)
The Minnesota Twins have dominated the Kansas City Royals at home as of recent as they have won 20 of their last 26 meetings. The Minnesota Twins currently sit 4 games up on the Cleveland Indians in the AL Central, and with the season coming down to the final stretch, it is essential the Twins take advantage of winnable games like this. There is a major pitching mismatch in this outing as Jose Berrios will get the starting nod as he is posting a respectable 3.58 ERA while the Royals will be throwing Sparkman who is 4-11 with a 6.02 ERA. The Twins are stacked throughout their lineup as they currently sit on top of the MLB in HRs, and I expect Cruz, Polanco, Rosario, and Kepler to have success here. Final Score Prediction, Minnesota Twins win 6-1.
