Houston Astros vs Kansas City Royals Prediction & Picks - MLB
by Dan Angell | in MLB Picks
The Houston Astros (4-9 SU, 4-9 ATS) try to salvage something out of their series with the Kansas City Royals (8-4 SU, 8-4 ATS) after dropping the first two games of the set. This was supposed to be where the Astros started to turn things around after a slow early start, but they’ve instead continued their early season struggles. Houston’s biggest problem is how wasteful it’s been at getting runners home. The Astros are tied for fourth in hits, yet only one-third of their base runners actually come around to score.
The Royals have started surprisingly well, winning seven of their past eight games. Kansas City’s pitching staff has done a wonderful job keeping the ball in the park, giving up a majors-best four home runs this season. The Royals’ bullpen has lived dangerously, as the bullpen’s WHIP ranks 26th, but they’ve managed to pitch out of trouble each time this season.

Our Houston Astros vs Kansas City Royals Prediction
Houston sends Hunter Brown to the mound, which didn’t go well in his last start against Kansas City. The Royals crushed Brown to the tune of six runs off four home runs last season, chasing him after three innings. The Royals counter with Brady Singer, who is off to a good start but perhaps due for some regression to the mean.
Singer has given up five hits in 13.1 innings, allowing just one earned run on a solo home run. Given that his ERA last season was 5.52, it’s possible that things turn the other way soon. But with the wind pushing in somewhat at 21 miles per hour in Kansas City, this doesn’t seem like the time to count on that. Instead, the Astros’ trend of stranding baserunners seem to be the one to follow. Our prediction for Houston vs. Kansas City is: Royals on the moneyline.
