TWINS VS ROYALS PREDICTION
The Twins and Royals have split the first 6 meetings this season but the Royals are currently playing better and a lot less banged up. The Twins have injuries with Buxton, Refsnyder, Garver, Arraez, Kepler, Cave, and possibly Simmons today. The only bat in the lineup that has done series damage to Keller is Donaldson. Shoemaker has not had a very good season and has struggled against the Royals who have a team batting average of .348 with S. Perez hitting a .529 with 9 hits in 17 at-bats including 2 home runs. The Royals have won the last 4 games while scoring 29 runs and the Twins have lost 3 of the last 4 while scoring only 15 runs in those games. The Royals have the better lineup, the better starting pitcher, and the better bullpen in this game. Look for the Royals to keep the winning streak alive. The Over is 6-0-1 in the last 7 meetings between these teams and the wind is blowing out in this game which gives the Over a good chance.
