Who will win Royals vs Twins today: Twins moneyline (-115)
The Minnesota Twins are in good form offensively, ranking Top 12 in batting average, OPS, and wOBA against right-handed pitching over the last three weeks.
Their success should continue against Michael Wacha. He has faced six opponents that rank Top 20 in both average and ISO vs. righties and struggled in such matchups. He posted a 5.44 ERA and allowed three runs or more in four of the six starts.
The Kansas City Royals rank 28th in wOBA against righties on the road and will struggle to keep up. Play the Twins to -125.

Kansas City‘s bullpen ranks dead last in the majors with a 1.72 WHIP.

Royals vs Twins Over/Under pick: Over 8.5 (+100)
Wacha has allowed 19 runs over his last four starts against teams sitting Top 20 in average and ISO against righties.
The Twins are in good form at the plate and have scored 4.72 runs per game in Minnesota this season. They should cause problems for Wacha and the subpar bullpen behind him.
Zebby Matthews has struggled to keep the ball on the ground, posting a fly-ball rate just under 50%. That’s a real issue given a high 16.1% HR/FB.
Expect the offenses to shine tonight. I’d play this to -110.
