Prediction published on 9/2/25, 4:30 PM  by Lou Aguila | Modified on 9/2/25 at 10:44 PM in MLB Picks

The Kansas City Royals kick off a fresh series against the Los Angeles Angels.

The Royals, a -156 moneyline favorite, have won 6 of their last 10 faceoffs with the Angels.

Current Form:

The Royals are 3-2 in their last five games, averaging 4.2 runs per game on a .244 BA while commanding a sturdy 3.00 ERA. The Royals, who own 70-67 record, are trailing the 80-59 Detroit Tigers by 9 games in the AL Central standings, but the Royals are only within 2.5 games of the Seattle Mariners, the current holder of the last wildcard spot in the American League.

The 64-73 Angels still have a mathematical chance to earn a postseason spot, but they would have to win all their remaining games to pull it off. Los Angeles has captured two wins in their last five games, both at the expense of the Astros. The Angels have been dreadful at the plate and on the mound recently, averaging 2.6 runs per game and posting a 6.21 ERA over their last five games.
