Arizona Diamondbacks vs Kansas City Royals 8/23/2022 Picks Predictions Previews

 

The Arizona Diamondbacks will face off with the Kansas City Royals at Ewing M. Kauffman Stadium, KS on Tuesday, August 23, 2022, at 8:10 PM ET.

 

The Diamondbacks swept more games than last year’s squad despite consecutively dropping three games. Although the team made progress, the series against the Cardinals this past weekend was undoubtedly a stark reminder of how far they have to go.

 

If the Diamondbacks wish to advance further in the standings the next year, the rest of their rotation must be more reliable. Arizona is currently 4th in the NL West division with a 55-66 record. 

 

Veteran right-hander Zach Davies will start the first game of the series. This season, Davies had 19 starts, and he produced four solid starts.

 

Davies holds a 4.09 ERA in his last five starts. He allowed 19 hits across 22 innings of work. His career WHIP is 1.321, and he posts a 4.13 earned run average (426 earned runs allowed). 

 

  • The Arizona Diamondbacks are 2-5 SU in their last 7 matches. 
  • The total went UNDER in 7 of the team’s previous 7 games on the road. 
  • The D-Backs are 8-3 SU in their previous 11 contests on the road against the Royals.

Arizona Diamondbacks vs Kansas City Royals Predictions 8/23/2022

 

The season totals for Kansas City were 448 RBIs and 102 long balls. They tallied 467 runs, walked 351 times, got 184 doubles, and took the field 184 times.

 

The Kansas City Royals have a team batting average of .242 and an on-base percentage of .305 this year. They average 3.80 runs per game and have a team slugging percentage of .375 (24th in baseball).

 

The Royals’ 50-74 record places them in fourth place in the American League Central division. 

 

Right-hander Jonathan Heasley will take the mound to face the Diamondbacks. Heasley made just one start since July 30th out of his total thirteen starts for the season.

 

Heasley made that start for the White Sox and went 5.1 innings while striking out five batters while allowing just two runs on seven hits.

 

Heasley’s recent tendency to give up the long ball is a source of concern. He gave up five home runs in his last three games.

 

  • The Kansas City Royals are 2-6 SU in their previous 8 matches. 
  • The total went OVER in 5 of the Royals’ last 6 games at home. 
  • The Royals are 3-8 SU in their last 11 matches when playing at home against the Diamondbacks.

Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Kansas City Royals. The MLB pick for this game is the Arizona Diamondbacks. Due to having Monday off, Arizona will be well rested while Kansas City has a make-up game against the Chicago White Sox at home.

 

Zach Davis, the starting pitcher for Arizona, is coming off a solid performance in which he defeated the San Francisco Giants 3-2 while allowing just one run on five hits over five innings.

 

Jonathan Heasley lost each of Kansas City’s last five starts as a starter. It is expected that the Arizona Diamondbacks will triumph 6-2.
