The Minnesota Twins will put their three-game winning streak on the line on Saturday in Saturday’s Game 2 against the Kansas City Royals.
The Twins carried their hot offense into their series-opener against the Royals on Friday, scoring nine runs for the second straight game to earn a resounding 9-4 win over the Royals. Averaging 4.3 runs per game this season, Minnesota’s offense is torching its last five opponents, averaging 6.5 runs per game on a .276 batting average. Although Minnesota’s ERA is still way above the desirable 3.00 ERA at 4.30 ERA in their last five games, their suddenly prolific offense has kept the Twins competitive in the AL Central with a 55-60 record, fourth in the division standings.
Meanwhile, the Royals have dropped three of their last five games, keeping them two games below .500 at 57-59 – third in the AL Central. Kansas City owns one of the best ERA in baseball this season at 3.64. However, their last five games have seen their ERA jump to 6.07 after giving up a total of 17 runs in the three-game series against Boston and nine runs in the series-opener against the Twins.

Our Minnesota Twins vs Kansas City Royals Prediction
The Royals are in a terrific position to even the series on Saturday as lefty Noah Cameron takes his stellar record in his last five starts (4-1 with a 2.90 ERA) into his duel with Bailey Ober, who has been dreadful in his last five mound appearances (0-5, 9.32 ERA).
Cameron will attempt to contain Minnesota’s offense that has been flying in the last five games (6.5 runs per game on .275 BA). The Royals are hoping that Cameron will replicate his dominant start against the Twins on May 23, where he pitched 6.2 innings, allowing the Twins one earned run and striking out eight batters in a 1-3 loss.
Meanwhile, Ober is trying to find his mojo back after losing his last five starts, surrendering an average of 5.8 earned runs per game. It would be a dramatic turnaround if Ober managed to hold the Twins under two runs, given his atrocious form.
Our betting prediction for the Minnesota Twins vs. the Kansas City Royals: the Royals -1.5 Runs.
