Our Pittsburgh Pirates vs Kansas City Royals Prediction
Neither team is great, but Noah Cameron is a solid pitcher. He’ll be able to keep Pittburgh’s dreadful lineup from getting on track. Heaney could make the Royals work for it if he has another good outing. But the Royals will just get a couple of runs off the bullpen if they can’t score off Heaney. It won't be an exciting game with lots of fireworks, but it's one that Kansas City should win.
