Kansas City Royals vs. Los Angeles Angels MLB Picks, Odds, Predictions 6/8/2021

The Kansas City Royals and Los Angeles Angels meet Tuesday in MLB action at Angels Stadium. The Royals need a win to snap a three-game losing streak. The Angels look for a win after winning six of their last nine games.

The Kansas City Royals have scored eight runs in their last three games and four or more runs in seven of their last nine games. The Royals have won eight of their last 11 games when scoring four or more runs. Salvador Perez leads the Royals with 61 hits and 40 RBI while Whit Merrifield and Andrew Benintendi have combined for 117 hits and 64 RBI. Kris Bubic gets the ball, and he is 1-0 with a 2.12 ERA and 28 strikeouts this season. This will be Bubic’s first career game against the Angels.

The Los Angeles Angels have scored 25 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in six of their last nine games. The Angels have won eight of their last nine games when scoring four or more runs. Jared Walsh leads the Angels with 62 hits and 40 RBI while David Flether and Shohei Ohtani have combined for 108 hits and 58 RBI. Andrew Heaney gets the ball, and he is 3-3 with a 4.76 ERA and 62 strikeouts this season. Heaney is 1-0 with a 1.93 ERA and 11 strikeouts in his career against the Royals.

The Royals are 5-2 in their last 7 overall. The Angels are 5-2 in their last 7 home games and 3-8 in their last 11 during game 2 of a series. The over is 7-1-2 in Royals last 10 overall. The over is 4-1 in Angels last 5 Tuesday games. The Royals are 1-5 in the last 6 meetings in Los Angeles. The Royals are 5-11 in the last 16 meetings. The under is 4-1-1 in the last 6 meetings.

The Royals are in a bit of a funk at the moment and the offense has cooled off in these losses. The Angels are playing some of their best ball of the season and the offensive success has picked up greatly. Heaney has had his struggles this season, but the Angels are hot right now as a team. I’ll lay the reasonable price with the Angels at home.
