San Diego Padres vs Kansas City Royals Prediction & Picks - MLB

 by Will Chace | in MLB Picks

A Friday night clash between two teams representing different leagues is in store for baseball fans as the San Diego Padres travel to Kansas City. The Royals will be putting out Michael Wacha to start the game, a veteran starter who is 4-5 on the year with a 4.31 ERA. On the other hand, Dylan Cease will make the trot for San Diego, who is on the winning side of the numbers at 5-4 with a 3.29 ERA. These two sides typically play high-scoring games when they meet, at least in recent memory. In fact, 14 out of the last 20 matchups between the two have gone over the closing total. Perhaps that is due to some unfamiliarity between the pitching and batting sides of each club, who may have rarely gone head to head out on the diamond. This game will mark the first of 3 played in Kansas City this weekend.

Our San Diego Padres vs Kansas City Royals Prediction

With rain in the forecast, our official prediction would actually be for this game to be rained out. But since that is not a bettable outcome, we will look instead towards the over, which is lined at 8/8.5. The slick and humid atmosphere should not only give pitchers fits, but also keep balls from flying out of the ballpark. Our San Diego Padres vs Kansas City Royals prediction: Over 8.5 (+100) at FanDuel.
