Royals vs Twins MLB Betting Preview, Prediction
I'm going to continue riding the under with these two teams.
Both lineups have been struggling of late. Only one of the last nine games for the Royals has gone over the total. Only four of the last 16 games for the Twins have gone over the total.
Yet, here we are with a couple of struggling sets of offenses and another 9.5 run total.
Both Bailey Ober and Noah Cameron are capable of getting outs, and this is an early start on getaway day.
I expect another low-scoring game with a projected total that is about a full run too high once again.
Pick: Under 9.5 (-108, FanDuel)
