Kansas City Royals vs. Baltimore Orioles Prediction
I’m leaning towards Baltimore here. Baltimore for me just feels like the stronger and more consistent team in this matchup, and in the later stages of this game, the bullpen is far more trustworthy for Baltimore compared to whatever KC is putting out on a night-to-night basis. I think that the Orioles keep the momentum going with another win here so give me Baltimore.
