Kansas City Royals vs Baltimore Orioles Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 9/30/24, 8:54 PM  by Edgar Jibran | Modified on 10/11/24 at 4:12 PM in MLB Picks

The second game of the MLB American League Wild Card stage corresponds to the confrontation between Baltimore Orioles and Kansas City Royals, which will be played at 02:38 pm Central Time next Wednesday, October 02nd. For this game, the bookmakers’ odds are putting the Orioles as the big favorites to win even when they lost the first game of the series.

With that in mind, it must be taken into consideration that the Orioles faced a lot of issues during the last part of the regular season, so losing the first game of the series wasn’t that strange. However, Gunnar Henderson and Anthony Santander couldn’t score a single run during the first game of the series against Kansas City Royals, a performance that is completely opposite to the one they hold during the regular season.

On Kansas City Royals’ case, this team was only able to win 1 out of their last 3 disputed series, so starting with an advantage game in this series is one of the most valuable scenarios they could have. In addition, it must be remarked that that they’ve been unable to score more than 4 runs since their 4-7 victory over Washington Nationals. For that reason, this team is expected to bring their best possible level to finish with the series by a bigger margin in comparison to the first game (0-1).
