St. Louis Cardinals vs Kansas City Royals Prediction & Picks - MLB

 by Carlos Zabala | in MLB Picks

The Cardinals and Royals, two teams with playoff aspirations, meet in a 2-game series at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City.

The Cardinals won the first game with two HRs by Venezuelan catcher Contreras, his 14th and 15th. Burlenson also hit a solo HR in the 3rd inning, his 20th. Game 1 ended 8-5 in favor of the Cardinals, Helsley earned his 37th save of the season, no other reliever has more than him.

For the Royals, on Friday, their bats from 2nd to 5th went a total of 1-for-17 with 5 strikeouts. However, Massey, the 2nd baseman who batted first in the order, went 3-for-4 with 2 RBIs.

This is a short 2-game series, and the Royals are 21-16 in 2-game series. The Royals' pitching has declined from the strong form they had started the season with, but they have stayed in the mix thanks to improved hitting recently, averaging 6 runs per game and 1.5 HRs over the last 10 games. In addition, the Royals are shooting 63.2% and are 24-14 in games where they are favored and playing at home.
