Minnesota Twins vs Kansas City Royals Predictions 9/22/2022

 

Kansas City came into Tuesday having lost five of their previous six matches, but they managed to win the first game of this series.

 

The Royals were out of postseason contention as of Wednesday since they were now fourth in the AL Central, 22 games behind the Guardians for the division lead.

 

In the victory on Tuesday, Kansas City had two hits apiece from MJ Melendez (run, two RBI), Hunter Dozier (run, RBI), and Bobby Witt Jr. For the Royals, Dozier (11th RBI) and Melendez (16th RBI) both went deep in the game.

 

In this game, Jon Heasley, a pitcher for the Royals, is making his 19th start of the year. He enters the game with a record of 3-8, a 5.09 ERA, a 1.506 WHIP, 42 walks, and 62 strikeouts in 88.1 innings pitched.

 

In his most recent start, which took place Friday against the Red Sox on the road, Heasley was not taken into consideration. In 6.2 innings of work, he gave up no runs on two hits, three walks, and five strikeouts in a 2-1 Royals defeat.

 

  • The Kansas City Royals are 34-38 in their road matches against the spread.
  • The totals went OVER in 2 of the Royals’ last 5 matches.
  • The totals went OVER in 38 of Kansas City’s last 76 matches at home.

Minnesota Twins vs Kansas City Royals. The MLB pick for this game is the Kansas City Royals. Although only the Twins were still holding postseason hopes before their September slump, both clubs recently truly struggled.

 

Sonny Gray and Tyler Mahle were forced out of the rotation due to injuries, making it difficult for Minnesota to find enough capable starting pitchers. In the meanwhile, the bats had trouble producing enough offense to offset the shaky mound work.

 

While it’s been a mixed bag, Kansas City was able to give its young players lots of experience as they get ready for 2023, and the Royals don’t have to deal with the burden of being relevant.

 

Even though he was not included in the decision, Heasley pitched well in his last start, and the Royals showed some tenacity by coming back to win Tuesday.

 

Back Kansas City in this game as they win on the Twins’ getaway day while earning the victory. The Kansas City Royals will win to a predicted score of 5-2.
