Kansas City Royals vs Pittsburgh Pirates Prediction & Picks - MLB
by Lou Aguila | in MLB Picks
The Kansas City Royals will enter a crucial three-game series with the Pittsburgh Pirates as they resume their chase for the No.1 spot in the American League Central. The Royals find themselves four games behind the Cleveland Guardians, who currently occupy the top spot in the AL Central. The Royals have captured five wins in their last ten games, batting .215 with 3.3 runs per game and pitching a 3.32 ERA. The Pirates are on a four-game winning streak heading into their series with the Royals but are nowhere near contending for one of the three wild card spots in the American League following their terrible descent during August. Nevertheless, the Pirates could make things interesting if they take away a few wins from the Royals and derail their pursuit to top their division.

Our Kansas City Royals vs Pittsburgh Pirates Prediction
Friday’s starter for the Royals is Alec Marsh, who led his team to three wins in his last five starts. Marsh will face off against Luis Ortiz, who had recorded two shutouts before allowing three earned runs in a loss to Washington on September 7. The Pirates have won the last three meetings with the Royals, covering the spread in all games. With Ortiz’s capability to blank the opposing team and the Pirate's solid stats at the plate these past five games, I feel the home team can steal a win from the playoff-contending Royals. In addition, the Royals have been playing poorly on the road against the Pirates recently, winning just one in their last eight away games vs. their AL Central rival. Our betting prediction for Kansas City Royals vs. Pittsburgh Pirates: Back the Pirates to win, -120, at BetMGM.
