As the competition for first place in the AL Central heats up, the Kansas City Royals and Minnesota Twins enter Game 2 of their series determined to get a victory. The Royals have split their previous ten games to remain within striking distance of the Twins and the Cleveland Guardians in the three-way fight for AL Central leadership. At 65-54, the Royals still have time to ascend up the standings, but they must win games on a regular basis from now on. Meanwhile, the Twins have won six of their last four games, including a crucial 8-3 win over the Royals on Monday. The Twins have been putting solid pitching numbers as of late, boasting a 2.80 ERA over their last five games. Minnesota has a 1.5-game lead over Kansas City and trails the Guardians by 3.5 games, entering the home stretch mark of the season.

Our Minnesota Twins vs Kansas City Royals Prediction
Lugo has been inconsistent recently, allowing six earned runs in a loss to the Cubs on July 27 before allowing one run vs. the Tigers through 8 innings on August 1. Lugo then squandered four earned runs in a 6-5 loss to the Boston Red Sox last August 6. Despite the up-and-down trend, I feel Lugo can deliver a solid game against the Twins, leveling the series at 1-1. The Royals pitcher allowed only three runs in his last three starts vs. Minnesota. Our betting prediction for the Minnesota Twins vs. Kansas City Royals: Bet on the Royals to win, +110, at BetMGM.
Prediction:
Royals will win.
