Guardians vs Royals Prediction
The Guardians are 4-2 in their last 6 meetings against the Royals, and both teams are tied 3-3 in their last 6 meetings in Kansas City. Over is 4-2 in their last 6 meetings.
In this Guardians vs Royals Prediction, the Royals are coming as -130 home favorites. Both teams have almost identical overall records and similar home/away splits. Cameron takes the mound for the Royals, and he has been excellent this season. And his last home start was a shutout against the Mets. But the Royals have a terrible offense and are even weaker against lefties, as both teams average just 7.2 runs per game combined against left-handed pitching. Both teams have top-10 bullpens, so I don’t expect a lot of runs in this game. Take the under 8.5 runs in this one.
