Kansas City Royals vs Minnesota Twins Prediction
Bergert has been solid in limited innings, positing a 2.83 ERA and 1.11 WHIP, and he was OK in his Kansas City debut. Urena has been wild and struggled with his control throughout his career, and this season is no different with his 5.24 ERA and 1.52 WHIP. There’s a reason why Urena is bouncing around from team to team. Like yesterday, the Royals have the clear edge on the mound, and that’s where I’m going to lean yet again.
