Our Cincinnati Reds vs Kansas City Royals Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Royals continue domination of the Reds, take series opener
Why you should bet on the Royals to cover -1.5 games: The Royals have beaten the Reds in their last 3 meetings, all of which were lopsided victories. Kansas City averaged 9.1 runs per game to the Reds’ 1.00 runs per contest over those 3 encounters. Michael Lorenzen has put up subpar numbers in his last two starts, but I feel this is the spot where Lorenzen can bounce back and contribute to the Royals’ winning cause. Nick Martinez is a fantastic pitcher with a 1.20 ERA over his last five games. Unfortunately, he may end up being tagged with the loss, especially if the bullpen squanders multiple runs again late in the match.
