Kansas City Royals vs Los Angeles Angels Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 8/21/24, 5:10 PM  by Carlos Zabala in MLB Picks

Despite the good record of 70-56, and that they would be in the Playoffs if the season ended today, the Royals have lost the dominance at the beginning of the season that they exerted at Kauffman Stadium. In fact, the Royals have not won a series there since July 22 against the White Sox. 

However, the Royals' good acquisitions before the trade deadline seemed to revitalize the team. Lorenzen has pitched well while DeJong has 3 HRs since joining the team.

The Royals still maintain a good home record of 39-26, and have the sixth best ERA in the AL.

It is impossible not to talk about Witt Jr, who comfortably leads the MLB in AVG with a high 352 for some time now. He is first in Hits with an advantage of 22 over the second, in HRs he is 19 and in runs scored 1st in the MLB with 110.

The veteran Cueto will pitch for the Angels, despite being a risky bet, due to his age, manager Washington declared regarding Cueto "He can pitch, he may not be the Johnny Cueto of five, six, seven, eight years ago, but he has knowledge and wisdom."
