Reeling after back-to-back losses to the Boston Red Sox, the Kansas City Royals kick off a fresh series on Monday against the Houston Astros at Delkin Park.
The Royals saw the end of their seven-game winning streak after 1-10 loss at the hands of the Boston Red Sox. Worse, Kansas City absorbed its second straight loss after being held again to one run by the Red Sox 1-3 in Sunday’s series finale. Outside their 10-run explosion against the Chicago White Sox on May 8, the Royals’ offense has been anemic over their last five games, averaging 3.2 runs per game on a .265 batting average.
The 20-19 Astros moved two games within the 22-17 Seattle Mariners after winning 3 of their last 4 games. Houston’s batting corps has produced outstanding numbers over their last five games, averaging 6.3 runs on a .277 batting average. Houston is also pitching a 3.68 ERA in the same five-game stretch.

Our Kansas City Royals vs Houston Astros Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Astros extend Royals’ losing streak to 3 games with a convincing win in Game 1.
The Astros are poised to win Game 1 convincingly, especially if Ryan Gusto (3.79) continues his fine play on the mound. Gusto has powered Houston to a win in his last three starts and averaged 2.0 earned runs in 4.2 innings over his last four starts. Royals starter Michael Wacha has shut out the Astros in his last two starts against the same team, but with Kansas City’s offense in a flux, I am not so sure if they can outslug an Astros squad that is punishing teams behind the plate. By the way, Houston is 7-2 SU in its last 9 games at home and 4-1 SU in its last 5 games when playing at home against Kansas City. Our betting prediction for Kansas City Royals vs. Houston Astros: Astros will win.
