The Royals and Orioles are in last place in their respective divisions; they will face each other in their final series before the All-Star break. Kansas City has a record of 38-56 and the Orioles 43-51, but in an American League where only five teams have a winning record, both still have wild card hopes.
The Royals had an unusual three-game winning streak in July. This streak included a rare offensive outburst between July 6 and 7, where they scored 15 runs against the Phillies and 16 against the Mets the following day. However, before Friday the 10th, the Royals lost the last two games of their series in Queens, allowing the Mets to score five runs in a single inning in both games.
Meanwhile, the Orioles avoided a home sweep against the Cubs by taking the final game of the series at Camden Yards, winning it 3-2. Tyler O'Neill hit his sixth home run of the year, and Jeremiah Jackson delivered the game-winning hit in the eighth inning, a double that drove in Alonso and Henderson.

Our Baltimore Orioles vs Kansas City Royals Prediction
Brandon Young will take the mound for the Orioles; he has pitched exactly five innings in each of his last three starts, boasting a 7-2 record that indicates his teammates have provided offensive support when he's pitched.
WBC-winning Venezuelan Luinder Ávila will pitch for the Royals. He has recovered after allowing 8 runs on June 12 in a game that recorded only two outs. Since then, he has had three starts where he allowed only 1 ER, including the last one in Kansas City against the Phillies, where he earned his fourth win of the season.
Our prediction for Orioles vs Royals is: Under 9.5 runs.
