Kansas City Royals vs Pittsburgh Pirates Prediction & Picks - MLB

 by Edgar Jibran | in MLB Picks

Pittsburgh Pirates has been one of the most disappointing teams in the current MLB season, so it isn’t surprising that they’ve suffered a lot during the series against Kansas City Royals, whose last game will be disputed next Sunday, September 15th at 11:35 am Central Time. In this regard, this will be a must-win game for the Royals, who still need to keep pushing forward to qualify for the playoffs without further issues.

A favorable scenario for Kansas City Royals looks very likely to happen as Pittsburgh Pirates are at the bottom of the NL Central Division with a 70W-77L record, keeping 11 games behind the Wild Card spots. Most of this bad performance can be attributed to the batting inconsistency, because even when Bryan Reynolds is the top performer with 70 runs and 22 home runs throughout the season, he has only scored 3 runs in his last 7 games.

Meanwhile, Kansas City Royals is still trying to dethrone Cleveland Guardians from the top spot of the AL Central Division, but they couldn’t reduce the 3.0 games gap as they lost the series against New York Yankees. With that in mind, the level of exigency must increase on Bobby Witt Jr. who has only scored 3 runs and 1 home run during his last 7 games.
