Royals vs Twins predictions
As the Kansas City Royals prepare to take on the Minnesota Twins, I'm expecting big things from some of their key players. Salvador Perez, the Royals' star catcher, has been on a tear lately, and I think he'll continue his hot streak with at least two hits and an RBI in this game. Meanwhile, I think Alec Marsh will have a solid outing on the mound, limiting the Twins to just two earned runs over six innings of work. And don't be surprised if Hunter Renfroe gets in on the action, too - I predict he'll smack a home run and drive in a pair of runs.
On the other side, the Twins will be counting on their own set of stars to lead the charge. I think Ryan Jeffers will have a big game behind the plate, notching a pair of hits and scoring at least once. Meanwhile, Joe Ryan will look to build on his strong start to the season, and I think he'll deliver a quality start, striking out at least seven Royals and allowing just one earned run. And keep an eye on Max Kepler, who's been swinging a hot bat lately - I predict he'll come through with a clutch hit and an RBI.
So, who'll come out on top in this American League Central showdown? Given the strength of their lineup and the solid outing I'm predicting from Alec Marsh, I think the Royals will take this one on the road. The Twins will put up a fight, but in the end, I think the Royals' offense will prove to be too much for them. Take Kansas City to win it, 5-3.
