Royals Bats Suddenly Go Cold

The Royals’ bats were quite impressive in the first game of the series, but on Tuesday, all of a sudden, the bats went cold. The Royals finished with four hits, but they couldn’t get any runs to cross the plate, and that was the difference. Michael Lorenzen got the start, and he went 5.1 innings, giving up five hits and three earned runs. He had seven strikeouts but also three walks. The Royals have to try and clean up the walks in this game. In the first game, Mikael Garcia hit a home run and drove in two RBIs. Bobby Wit Jr has six hits and driven in three RBIs. 

Cole Ragans is going to get the start for the Royals, and he comes into this game with a record of 0-0 and an ERA of 5.40. In his first start of the season against the Cleveland Guardians, he went five innings, giving up five hits and three earned runs. 

Why the Royals Will Beat the Brewers

  • The Brewers have lost each of their last four day games following a win.
  • The Royals have won six of their last seven games against NL Central opponents following a loss.
  • The Royals have covered the run line in 10 of their last 11 road games against NL Central opponents.
  • The Brewers have failed to cover the run line in six of their last seven home games following a home win.
  • The Royals have led after 5 innings in four of their last five day games against NL Central opponents.

First Win for The Brewers! 

The Brewers really looked awful in the first four games of the season, but they finally got the monkey off their back by picking up their first win on Tuesday. Christian Yelich hit a home run and drove in two RBIs. Catcher Eric Hasse also hit a home run. Over the last three games, the Brewers have scored only nine runs in total. In the first game of this series, the offense managed only one. No one has hit more than one home run and driven in more than three RBIs in the year. 

Getting the start for the Brewers will be Freddy Peralta, who sits with a record of 0-1 and an ERA of 3.60. Against the New York Yankees in his first start of the season, he went five innings, giving up four hits and two runs. He gave up two home runs, and keeping the ball in the ballpark will be key here. 

Why the Brewers Will Beat the Royals

  • The Brewers have won 13 of their last 14 games against AL Central opponents following a home win.
  • The Royals have lost each of their last four games at American Family Field following a road loss.
  • The Royals have failed to cover the run line in four of their last five games at American Family Field against teams that held a losing record.
  • The Brewers have covered the run line in five of their last six home games against American League opponents following a win.
  • The Royals have trailed after 3 innings in three of their last four games.
  • The Royals have trailed after 5 innings in four of their last five games at American Family Field against NL Central opponents that held a losing record.

Kansas City Royals vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction

Give me the over here. Peralta gave up two home runs in his first start, and even though the Royals have only hit four long balls on the season, this is the perfect game for them to start hitting bombs. Cole Ragans wasn’t dominant in his first game of the season, and he currently has an ERA of 5.40. The Brewers’ offense did gain some confidence on Tuesday, and they are going to build on that here with a favorable hitting matchup again. Back the over to cash here.
