Giants vs. Royals Prediction: Friday, September 20th
As the Royals now have one week left to hold down a wild card spot in the American League, they welcome the Giants for an interleague series! Now Kansas City does have a 2-game lead over those chasing them in the Twins and Tigers, but things get crazy down the stretch, so you know they’ll be playing hard.
This offense at home is special too as they’ve averaged 4.92 runs per game this season and the matchup against Mason Black of the Giants tonight assures that average should remain high! Black comes into tonight with a 7.07 ERA and 1.64 WHIP on the season so they have their work cut out for them and I must take the over on the Royals team total tonight to start the MLB predictions!
On top of the total offense for Kansas City, let’s wager on a bat to help them make it happen in our MLB best bets today! Black struggles overall in most stats this season but his splits against right-handed hitting is fantastically awful as he’s allowing an average of .339 and an OPS of 1.095 including 11 extra base hits in 62 batters faced.
That puts the household name of Bobby Witt in play tonight as he’s smoked righties all season and is hitting .286 with a 1.313 OPS over the past 6 games. I like his total bases a lot tonight so give me the over there.
For the last of our MLB best bets today, it’s a tag on the end for any parlays you’ll have today as it’s a bit chalky, but the Royals money line is still a value at -165 believe it or not. They should win this game without issue given the matchup on the mound and the offensive side of things, so add the Royals to win to your betting card.
