Kansas City Royals vs Minnesota Twins. The MLB pick for this game is the Minnesota Twins. The Twins should easily defeat the Royals once more with Sonny Gray taking the mound tomorrow.

The right-hander had arguably his worst performance of 2023 earlier this season when he held Kansas City scoreless over five innings.

In that game, he only struck out one batter while walking four Royals. Since then, each start saw him strike out at least five hitters while only allowing a maximum of two walks.

Tomorrow, anticipate him to do significantly better, pitching into the sixth inning before giving the ball off to the Twins bullpen, which has MLB’s fourth-lowest WHIP.

In his previous appearance against the Twins, KC starting pitcher Brad Keller was given the loss after allowing two runs on 5 hits and four walks over 4.2 innings.

With 61 extra-base hits and 94 RBI, Minnesota has better splits (.241 BA/.312 OBP/.412 SLG/.723 OPS) against right-handed pitchers.. The Minnesota Twins will win to a predicted score of 5-4.
