Kansas City Royals vs. Minnesota Twins Analysis
Kansas City Royals Performance Recap and Analysis
The Kansas City Royals score in their last game could have this team more confident than ever before. They enter play after beating the Los Angeles Dodgers in two out of three games and did so in commanding fashion in Game 3. Kansas City walked away with a 9-1 win on Sunday, as it was arguably the most impressive game that they’ve played all season.
The MLB standings aren’t looking great, but if they can turn their season around, it could help some of their younger players in the future.
Key Injuries
The Royals currently aren’t dealing with many injuries to any of their key players, and that’s good news for them. The MLB injury report has seen some players on the sideline this year, but for now, they’re looking better on that front.
Betting Trends to Know
- The betting trends aren’t too kind to the Royals this season. They’ve only won 22 of 71 games and four of 12 games when they’re +190 or more on the moneyline.
Minnesota Twins Performance Recap and Analysis
The Minnesota Twins MLB player stats haven’t been the best, despite sitting in first place in the American League Central. The Central continues to be the worst division in baseball, and that’s good news for Minnesota. They’ll need to play much better if they want to win the division, as other teams will likely figure it out eventually.
They’re one of the more above-average MLB teams, but that doesn’t mean that they can’t be an elite team, as they have the pieces to do so.
Key Injuries
Minnesota has dealt with a ton of injuries this season, but it looks like they’re going to come into this game with slightly any. That’s perfect news for them as they look to win a huge series ahead of the All-Star break.
Betting Trends to Know
- The Minnesota Twins have nearly been a profitable team, even on the run line this season. They come in at 40-45 against the spread.
