LA Angels vs Kansas City Royals Prediction
The Royals at home is going to pick up another key victory here. Bergert sits with an ERA of 2.67 and in his last start, he gave up only one run. The Angels offense isn’t a whole lot better than the White Sox’s, and that will end up being the difference here. The Royals offense isn’t exactly elite, but it’s not going to take many runs here to get the job done. Even if they only score two or three runs, that is still going to be enough here. Back the Royals on the money line to cash.
