Both the Twins and Royals had an off-day on Thursday before this weekend series matchup. Royals are in the basement of the AL Central while the Twins reign atop of the division.
Kansas City Royals
Royals come into this series 8-11 and find themselves four games back of the Twins and 2.5 games back of the Tigers of who controls the second playoff spot.
Jorge Soler leads the ball club in home runs with five on the season and is tied for 9th most in the league. As a ball club, the Royals are averaging 4.42 runs per game and 8.74 hits per game which is 4th most in the MLB.
Jakob Junis is seeking his first win in 2020 after a couple of no-decisions in his few starts. Junis 0-0 on the year so far with a 4.00 ERA.
Minnesota Twins
Twins hold the best record in the AL Central by a game and a half over Tigers and will try to build on that lead against their division rival.
Nelson Cruz is maybe the best pure hitter in baseball behind Mike Trout. He continues to have monster seasons and 2020 is no different. Cruz is second in the league with 18 RBI’s just two behind Aaron Judge for the lead.
Jake Odorizzi is on the mound for the Twinsies still looking for his first win of 2020. Jake is 0-0 with a 6.00 ERA to begin the year.

Free Kansas City Royals vs. Minnesota Twins MLB Prediction:
Jake Odorizzi is Minnesota’s worst starter so I have no problem backing the underdog in this one, but the Twins could squeeze this one out late with the Royals bullpen being bad as well. That’s why I’m going with the Royals run line to keep this one close.
