Kansas City Royals (26-19) and Oakland Athletics (19-26) will play their three-game MLB series starting this Friday. The Royals enter this matchup off a shocking and impressive 4-2 victory against the Mariners in Seattle. They defied all odds as the underdogs to turn the game in their favor during the vital seventh inning that saw them score three runs. Remarkably, the Royals now boast a winning road record, which has been pivotal in their season's success. The Athletics, on the other hand, must first take care of the Houston Astros on Thursday. They are currently staring at an embarrassing 4-0 sweep in the hands of the impressive Astros. However, the stats favor them against the Royals after winning 100 out of 179 competitive matchups.

Our Kansas City Royals vs Athletics Prediction

Oakland has been poor lately. They'll be looking to snap their four-game losing skid against the Astros on Thursday and continue the momentum against a tough Kansas City side. However, the Royals' unexpected win against the Seattle Mariners will boost their confidence as they continue to surpass expectations. Wacha and Velazquez have been pivotal in their performances this year. We expected them to compound Oakland's misery with another win. Our prediction for the Royals vs the Athletics: Kansas City to win.
