Our Kansas City Royals vs Oakland Athletics Prediction
Marsh has racked up 18 strikeouts in his last three starts, including a seven Ks performance vs. the high-powered New York Yankees on June 13. Marsh, who sports a 4.76 ERA this June, will face an Athletics batting lineup that stuck out 28 times over the last five games or 5.6 strikeouts per contest. This is the first time Marsh will pitch against the Royals in his career, so it would be interesting to see how he would fare against the A’s sluggers. Still, momentum is on Marsh’s side for him to throw at least six Ks in this game. Our betting prediction for Oakland Athletics vs. Kansas City Royals: Alec Marsh throws 6+ strikeouts, -205, at DraftKings.
