Our Los Angeles Angels vs Kansas City Royals Prediction
This game is essentially dead even in terms of who will win; therefore, we will be targeting the over. It is clear that both teams have been miserable this season, and with that, neither starter in this matchup looks strong.
This is especially true when it comes to the home/away splits between the two starters. Lugo has made 11 away starts this season, having allowed 40 runs (35 earned) over 59.1 innings. Rodriguez, on the other hand, has made seven home starts, where he has allowed 32 runs (30 earned) over 29.2 innings.
Because of the fact that both pitchers have been well below average this season, our Los Angeles Angels vs Kansas City Royals prediction is: Over 9 Total Runs.
