Miami Marlins vs. Kansas City Royals Prediction

I’m leaning towards the Royals here. I still have my concerns about the Marlins’ offense against left-handed pitching, and I think it could continue here. Noah Cameron is on another level right now and the Royals’ offense behind him has been hot and Eury Perez has been less effective on the road this season.I think Kansas City takes care of business in this one so give me the Royals.
