ANALYSIS
Our quantitative edge for Kansas City is supported by a significant pitching advantage as Kris Bubic (1.06 WHIP, 3.97 ERA) faces Baltimore's Shane Baz, who has struggled with a 1.55 WHIP and allowed 3+ runs in most starts this season. While the Royals are on an eight-game skid, they outhit the Orioles 14-6 in yesterday’s extra-inning loss, and Baltimore remains severely compromised with stars Adley Rutschman, Jackson Holliday, and Jordan Westburg all on the injured list.
OUTCOME
Kansas City Royals 6 - Baltimore Orioles 5
