The Minnesota Twins will welcome Kansas City up the Mississippi River for a Memorial Day matinee at Target Field. Minnesota is coming off a home series win against the Texas Rangers, although they lost the final game by a score of 6-2. The Royals also saw their winning streak come to an end on Sunday. Kansas City had stretched out eight straight winning performances to propel themselves to a 34-20 record. In fact, the Royals scored 7 runs in 6 consecutive games, marking a milestone in their franchise history. While their bats have done the brunt of the work, it is their ace Seth Lugo that deserves the lionshare of the credit. The right-hander is 8-1 with a 1.74 ERA, good for a league lead in ERA and total quality starts. Diehard fans may remember the last time these two teams met, as they opened their campaigns with a series in Kansas City. Minnesota took the first two as the road side before getting demolished 11-0 in the finale.

Given the aforementioned trends as listed above, runs are expected to come at a premium on Monday. And adding to this notion are two strong pitchers with ERAs that rival some of the best in the league. There is some rain in the cards and wind is going out to center, but we believe this total is still too high. Our Minnesota Twins vs Kansas City Royals prediction: Under 8.5 (-115) at FanDuel.
