Our Houston Astros vs Kansas City Royals Prediction
The Astros are the heavy favorite in this game; however, the under looks to be the best betting option. This is because of the home/away splits between the two starting pitchers, which suggests they both will be able to have an effective outing. Wacha has made 15 away starts this season, in which he has allowed 40 runs (37 earned) over 93.2 innings. As for Brown, he has made 10 home starts, having allowed 23 runs (22 earned) over 53.1 innings.
More importantly, Wacha has posted an ERA of 2.25 over the last 30 days, while the Royals’ offense has been highly inconsistent this season. For that reason, our Houston Astros vs. Kansas City Royals prediction is: Under 8 Total Runs.
