The Kansas City Royals and Cincinnati Reds collide in a three-game series starting Monday at Kaufmann Stadium.
The Royals are 2-3 in their last five games, scoring a 2-1 extra-inning win in Sunday’s series finale with the Minnesota Twins. In this five-game stretch, the Royals are batting .288 with 3.3 runs and pitching a 3.07 ERA. Vinnie Pasquantino is batting .249 with 8 homers and 30 RBIs this season.
The Reds are 1-4 in their last 5 games and lost their series finale against the Chicago Cubs 8-11 on Sunday. They are batting .253 with 4.3 runs per game over their last five games, but they have pitched a 6.07 ERA in this stretch, and their bullpen has surrendered an atrocious 11.94 ERA.

Our Kansas City Royals vs Cincinnati Reds 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.
