Kansas City Royals vs. Minnesota Twins Prediction

I’m on the Royals in this one. Cameron has solid career numbers against the Twins, and Minnesota’s struggled against lefties as of late. Kansas City has been much better against lefties and Prielipp has been an ineffective option for the Twins in recent starts. I’ll roll with KC in this one.
