Our Minnesota Twins vs Kansas City Royals Prediction

The Twins are the heavy favorite in this game; however, the under looks to be the best betting option. This is due to both starting pitchers having performed well this season. Dobnak has only made two appearances (one start) on the road this season, but has yet to allow an earned run over 10.2 innings. Ryan, on the other hand, has made 11 home starts, in which he has allowed 23 runs (21 earned) over 59.1 innings.

Even though Dobnak has had limited time on the road this season, our Minnesota Twins vs Kansas City Royals prediction is: Under 8.5 Total Runs.
