In 2023, the Royals had a 106-loss season and were the most improved team in 2024, when they qualified for the playoffs. In 2025, in a division dominated by the challenging Tigers, the Royals find themselves in the hunt for the Wild Card spot. They've hit their stride at just the right time. They won their last three games to move just one game behind the Mariners for the final Wild Card spot.
The Royals won the first game of the series 2-1 at Kauffman Stadium against the Twins, and the Royals had a batting feast on Saturday, beating the Twins 11-2, who, fortunately for Kansas City, had lost their last six games in a row.
It's a fact that when the Royals' crucial bats appear, they usually win, aided by their formidable pitching. On Saturday, as early as the first inning, they opened the game with a 3-run home run by Salvador Pérez; Earlier, Pasquantino had hit an RBI double.
In Saturday's win, Witt Jr. sat out due to back spasms, and Maikel García replaced him at shortstop.

Our Minnesota Twins vs Kansas City Royals Prediction
Michael Lorenzen will start Sunday's pitching duel for the home team in a crucial game for the Royals, who must sweep Minnesota at all costs. Before losing his last start against the Angels, the Royals had won each of Lorenzen's previous four starts.
On the other hand, Ober has allowed as many as six home runs in just his last three starts against the A's, Jays, and White Sox.
One of the most profitable MLB deals this year has been consistently betting against the Twins; they were thought to be in contention for the division this season, but Saturday's loss was their 80th of the year.
Our prediction for Royals vs Twins is: Royals ML.
