The Minnesota Twins will attempt to score two consecutive wins against the Kansas City Royals in Sunday’s Game 2 at Target Field.
The Twins are 3-2 in their last five games to improve their record to 28-22, keeping them afloat in a competitive American League Central division. Over their last five games, the Twins are batting .263 with 3.9 runs per game and pitching a 3.27 ERA.
The Royals have also won 3 of their last 5 games to keep their record 4 games above .500 at 28-24. As usual, a lackluster offense remains the biggest hurdle for the team to take over their division and the American League. Kansas City is only averaging 3.4 runs per game this season, which puts them in the bottom quadrant of the league in that particular state category.

Our Kansas City Royals vs Minnesota Twins Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Royals strike back to even the series at 1-1
Why you should bet on the Royals to win: Michael Wacha has been performing well as of late, surrendering an average of 1.20 earned runs over their last five games. He has powered the Royals to a win in 4 of his last 5 starts, including a 5-inning, 1-earned run stint against the St. Louis Cardinals on May 18. The Royals are also 7-2 SU in its last 9 games against Minnesota, which means Kansas City doesn’t lose against their division rivals often.
Why you should NOT bet on the Twins to win: The Twins are 2-7 in their last 9 meetings with the Royals. They will also start rookie pitcher Zebby Matthews, who allowed 4 earned runs over 3.0 innings in his MLB debut. Seeing how Matthews bounces back from that frustrating season debut would be interesting.
Our betting prediction for the Minnesota Twins vs. the Kansas City Royals: The Royals will win.
