Kansas City Royals vs Los Angeles Angels Prediction

The Angels look like a team that’s ready for vacation as the losses continue to pile up, and Aldegheri has just 4.1 innings under his belt this season. Hard to get behind the Angels with confidence in this spot. The Royals are still mathematically in the playoff race and while Ragans has been a mess this season, the Royals have won 6 of his last 9 starts. Not the best game on Tuesday’s MLB card, but if forced to pick, give me the team that’s still somewhat in the wild card race. Give me the Royals.
