The pitching staff is also on the younger side, with the exception of Opening Day starter Zack Greinke, who is 39 years old and made his major league debut with the Royals in 2004.

 

He did not have his best season last year, but he still contributed 1.9 WAR and 137.0 innings. He struggled in five starts against Minnesota, going 0-4 with a 4.04 ERA.

 

Greinke, on the other hand, pitched 10.1 innings and allowed only two earned runs in two home starts against the Twins.

 

  • The Kansas City Royals are 2-7 SU in their previous 9 contests. 
  • The total went UNDER in 4 of Kansas City’s last 5 matchups against the Twins. 
  • The Royals are 6-1 SU in their last 7 encounters at home.

Minnesota Twins vs Kansas City Royals. The MLB pick for this game is the Minnesota Twins. On paper, Minnesota is the superior team, and they had Greinke’s number last season, winning four of the five games he started.

 

They should have the advantage in starting pitching, offense, defense, and the bullpen in this game.

 

The Royals’ offense and ability to get on base can keep them in this game, especially at home, but their bullpen will not give up many zeros after Greinke is taken out.

 

Follow the Twins to their first win of the season. The Minnesota Twins will win by a predicted score of 7-4.
