Angels vs Royals Prediction
The Royals are still mathematically in the playoff race, and that’s the edge in this game. Kolek has been strong since coming over from the Padres, allowing 15 hits and 5 earned runs in his last 27 innings. The Angels look like a team that’s excited for vacation, as the losses keep piling up, and they’ve won one game since September 11. Kikuchi hasn’t been great this season, and he’s allowed 23 hits and 15 runs in his last 19.1 innings. The Angels just don’t give much confidence these days. I have to side with the Royals on Wednesday night.
