The disputed series between Royals and Twins due to the disputed division between Royals, Twins and Guardians reaches its game 3. Great performances by starters, followed by innings where a reliever performs with a bad inning has been the trend in this series. The Twins were favorites in game 1 but did not cover the Runline (6-5), and surprisingly the Royals came out as favorites to win game 2 on the betting sites (-135). Seth Lugo, 2nd in MLB pitcher wins, will start for the Royals on Wednesday. The Royals won 4 of Lugo's last 5 starts, including 3 of them where they were underdogs. Today the Royals are once again underdogs, in this same situation against the Twins, Lugo was never able to beat them. However, Lugo dominated the last game vs Twins, in that game he threw 6IP with no runs. Bailey Ober, for the Twins, has mixed a good outing with other regular ones. But at home he has put up excellent numbers with a 2-0 record and 2.57 ERA. The Royals struck out 10 times in Game 1, keeping that number at least under 8 will be vital if they want to take advantage of the high ERA of the Twins' collective pitching.

Our Minnesota Twins vs Kansas City Royals Prediction

Without a doubt two very even teams. Royals have had a great year as a starting staff thanks to Ragans and Lugo. You mix that with timely hitting and you have a winning team. The Twins' pitching, although with a high ERA, has managed to be especially good at striking out enemies. Lugo has had an excellent season and already dominated the Twins earlier this season. Ober has been especially good at home. Too many strikeouts occurred for both teams in games 1 and 2 and game 1 only gave an over in the total game for the Royals' 9th inning rally. The trend of a low-run series could continue in Game 3. Our prediction for Royals vs Twins is: Under 7.5 -110 at FanDuel.
