Both Kansas City and LAA are facing two game losing streaks as they head into the weekend series in Anaheim. The Angels are significant favorites in the series opener as KC is just 5-14 on the road this season.
Kansas City Royals
Maybe going on the road is good for what ails Kansas City as they just finished up a 2-4 home stand at Kaufmann Stadium. Then again the Royals are already 13.5 games back in the Central and this season looks like a lost cause.
The KC offense has looked especially defunct lately, scoring just 1 run in each of the last two games and 1 or less in 5 of 7. The Royals lost 1-16 to Texas on Thursday so their bullpen is also spread thin here.

Friday’s O/U is 9.5 which seems on the low side considering Kansas City starter Brad Keller has allowed 5 ER in 3 of the last 4 outings. Keller has a team high 32 BB this season and has walked at least 4 batters in 4 of the last 6 games.
Los Angeles Angels
The Angels will try to get back on track after an off day and being on the road for the last 9 games. LA went 5-4 over that span, and should get a boost from being back home where they are 11-9 on the season.
The Angels only have 16 collective AB’s vs. the Royals’ Keller but Mike Trout has gone 2-4 as part of those numbers. Tommy LaStella (.478, 2HR) and Albert Pujols (.389, 2HR) should power the LA offense Friday as they are both on a solid roll over the past 6 games.

The Angels off day means a rested bullpen which is important as Matt Harvey has lasted just 8.2 total innings over his last two starts. The Royals have just a .140 collective average against Harvey in 50 team AB however.
MLB Baseball Betting Trends:
- Royals are 20-52 last 72 road games
- Royals are 1-4 last 5 overall
- Royals are 4-10 in Keller’s last 14 road starts
- Angels are 2-5 last 7 games following an off day
Free Kansas City Royals vs. Los Angeles Angels MLB Prediction:
Do the Royals get any offense going as they head out West? Prior performances would suggest ‘no’, it’s just up to how many runs Keller gives up to the Angels on the mound.
