Atlanta Braves vs Kansas City Royals Prediction
These two offenses were awful on Saturday, and it’s going to be much of the same here. The Royals only scored one run, and they are going to really struggle to get the offense going here. The Braves also aren’t going to be a lot better, and this game is going to stay well under the total. Look for only two or three runs total to be scored. Back the under to cash here with ease.
