Kansas City Royals vs Cleveland Guardians Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 6/27/24, 4:42 PM  by Carlos Zabala in MLB Picks

Royals won a series at home that they were forced to vs. Marlins. putting an end to a long and bad streak where they lost 4 series in a row, where they have not made more than 8 races since June 8 and where they gave up their wild card position to the Red Sox. They won thanks to a miraculous 5-run inning, as they had been dominated once again by the Marlins pitching. The Royals offense abruptly shut down in the last 2 weeks. Witt Jr has only hit 1 HR since June 11 and driven in just 4 and is averaging a meager 2.1 runs per game. It seems that when the hitting works for the Royals, the pitching doesn't and vice versa. Royals will have a difficult time facing, by far, the most effective bullpen in the MLB with an ERA of 2.37, the second with the most saves in MLB with 30 and the second with the least allowing HR with only 20.

Guardians saw their 7-win streak end but with Their 51-27 record makes them the most lucrative MLB team to bet on in 2024, generating $1,954 if you bet $100 on all their games this year. Ramirez strangely went 0-for-4 in the last of the series against the Orioles and but almost every time he doesn't hit, he hits at least 2 the next day.
