Kansas City Royals vs Minnesota Twins. The MLB pick for this game is the Minnesota Twins. Zack Grienke had a stellar career, but he is succumbing to the passage of time. The 38-year-old right-hander gave up seven runs in his previous two road outings, and the Royals’ bullpen has a 4.85 ERA and 1.47 WHIP, which ranks them 29th in MLB.
