The Kansas City Royals and Houston Astros lock horns on Tuesday at the start of a three game series. The Astros will be looking to build on a two game winning streak that has breathed life into their season, whilst the Royals will be looking to make it five wins a row after a 4-0 sweep of the White Sox. 

Despite a largely underwhelming start to the campaign, the Astros are still regarded as one of the elite MLB teams and strongly fancied to make a deep Playoff run. It seems only a matter of time before they hit top form and move towards the top of the AL West. Meanwhile, the Royals will be satisfied with their 6-4 start, following an abysmal 2023 season that saw them record a 56–106 and miss the postseason for the 8th consecutive season. Somewhat surprisingly, the Royals did register a 5-1 record over the Astros last season, including a 3-0 home sweep.
