Arizona Diamondbacks vs Kansas City Royals Prediction & Picks - MLB

 by Lou Aguila | in MLB Picks

The Kansas City Royals carry a three-game winning streak into Monday’s series opener with the Arizona Diamondbacks at Kaufmann Stadium. The Royals is fresh off a dominant series against the Chicago White Sox, letting up only three runs in the three-game duel. Kansas City (55-45) remains third in AL Central standings but are slowly creeping in behind Minnesota Twins (54-44) and the division leader, Cleveland Guardians (59-39). Over their last 10 matches, the Royals are scoring 5.4 runs per game on a solid .265 batting averages while posting an impressive 2.59 ERA. The Diamondbacks also parade a strong form coming into this series with the Royals, having won six of their last eight games. Arizona (51-49) and the San Diego Padres (52-50) are in a tight battle right now for the No.2 spot in the NL West, and a win could turn the tide in this heated race. The D-Backs are batting .222 with 4.7 runs per game and throwing a 2.73 ERA during their recent 10-game stretch.

Pitchers Matchup: Diamondbacks RHP Yilber Diaz (1-0, 1.50 ERA with seven strikeouts) vs. Royals LHP Cole Ragans (6-6, 3.16 ERA with 141 strikeouts).

ESPN Match predictor has the Royals winning by 59.6 percent at home. Kansas City is 31-21 against the run spread in home games this season and 57-43 overall ATS. I like the Royals to cover the -1.5 runs since they will be starting Cole Ragans, who allowed one run in seven innings in his last start vs. the Red Sox. The Royals bullpen has also been terrific in their last five games, sporting a 1.88 ERA in that span.
