Minnesota Twins vs Kansas City Royals Prediction

The Minnesota Twins are getting the benefit of the doubt because Bailey Ober has been more consistent than Alec Marsh, but the value in this spot is with the Royals and the plus money. The Royals have found their form in their last two games, and they're too good of a team overall to turn down as underdogs. Also, while Ober has been sharper than Marsh and has pitched more recently, let's not act like he's unhittable. The Royals and the more favorable price is one of the better value plays on Saturday's MLB card.
