Kansas City Royals vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction & Picks - MLB
by Dan Angell | in MLB Picks
The Kansas City Royals (40-31 SU, 42-29 ATS) continue their week of trying to prove themselves an upper-echelon squad as they face the Los Angeles Dodgers (43-28 SU, 35-36 ATS). The Royals have been through a tough week overall, as they dropped three of four to the Yankees and took a loss to Seattle before heading out west.
Kansas City has mostly exceeded expectations, but there’s a worry that the Royals’ record is more of a product of their schedule. The Royals have made Kauffman Stadium a fortress, but they have a losing record away from Kansas City. Seth Lugo has embodied that with his most recent starts, as he’s given up nine earned runs in his past two starts against the Yankees and the Guardians. Things get no easier for him, as the Dodgers rank third in the majors in batting average.

Our Kansas City Royals vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction
If there’s been a word for Yoshinobu Yamamoto, it’s been consistency. He rarely leaves the game before the sixth inning, as eight of his past nine starts have seen him at least start the sixth. He usually racks up the strikeouts, as he’s struck out at least six in five consecutive starts.
He’s also quite used to pitching in low-scoring games. In his past three starts, his team hasn’t given him much run support. He’s had to make do with one run in two of his past three starts, and the exception was four runs against a bad Colorado team. He’s actually a better pitcher on the road than he is at home, although he’s been effective in both locations. With Lugo struggling against better lineups, he’s the more consistent bet. Given that Kansas City has been losing games by multiple runs, our prediction for Kansas City vs. Los Angeles is Dodgers -1.5.
