Our Houston Astros vs Kansas City Royals Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Royals edged Astros to extend winning streak.
Brace for a dramatic finish in Game 2 of this series between the Royals and the Astros. Kansas City is pitching really well as of late, but I don’t have much trust in Michael Wacha, who is struggling to find his groove this year. Framber Valdez has also been shaky of late, yet I still think he will be effective against the Royals, who are batting .257 with 2.5 runs a game in their last five games against a lefty starter. Houston is 4-1 SU in its last 5 games against Kansas City and 5-2 SU in its last 7 games. Our betting prediction for the Kansas City Royals vs. Houston Astros: Astros -1.5 Runs.
