Royals vs. Twins Prediction, Winner Payout, Over\/Under \u2013 Saturday, June 6<\/h2>\n
For the third game of the series, it will be Royals RP Luinder Avila (4.62 xFIP across 2 starts, 9 relief appearances, and 26.1 IP in 2026) and Twins SP Joe Ryan (3.41 xFIP across 13 starts and 70.1 IP) facing off on the mound.<\/p>\n
Avila has made spot starts for the Royals this season, ranking in the 41st percentile in xERA (4.31) and the eighth percentile in walk rate (13.8%), per Baseball Savant<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Over the last 14 days, Kansas City\u2019s lineup has been seemingly swinging with a pool noodle, logging the sixth-worst wRC+ (90), eighth-worst wOBA (.306), and second-worst ISO (.124), via FanGraphs<\/a>.<\/p>\n
On the other side, Ryan is in the 78th percentile in xERA (3.10) and the 95th percentile in walk rate (5.0%). Ryan\u2019s 0.97 WHIP is the fourth-best mark in the American League among qualified pitchers.<\/p>\n
The Twins have been slightly worse than the Royals in the last 14 days, tallying the fifth-worst wRC+ (87), sixth-worst wOBA (.299), and ninth-worst ISO (.147) during that span.<\/p>\n
Minnesota OF Byron Buxton left Friday\u2019s game early after suffering a shoulder injury<\/a>, so it remains to be seen if he\u2019s in the lineup on Saturday.<\/p>\n
At this point in the season, both Minnesota and Kansas City appear to be long shots to win the American League Central<\/a>. The Twins have the third-highest payout to win the division (5.55x), while the Royals have the highest (14.28x), via PrizePicks Team Picks.<\/p>\n
