Prediction: Kansas City Royals VS Minnesota Twins 2025-05-23
The Kansas City Royals are heading to Target Field to take on the Minnesota Twins, and I've got my eyes on this matchup. The Twins are favored at -168, and for good reason - they've got a 56.7% success rate as the moneyline favorite this season, and they're 7-2 when favored at -168 or shorter.
Pablo Lopez is taking the mound for the Twins, and he's been lights out with a 2.40 ERA. The Royals, on the other hand, will be sending out Noah Cameron, who's making just his third start of the season. While Cameron has been impressive with a 0.71 ERA, I'm not convinced he can keep up with the Twins' potent offense.
The Royals have struggled with home runs, ranking last in the league with just 32, and they'll be facing a Twins team with the fourth-ranked team ERA (3.28). I think the Twins will be able to shut down the Royals' offense and come out on top.
My best bet for this game is the Minnesota Twins on the moneyline at -168. I think they've got the pitching and the offense to take down the Royals, and their record as favorites this season is hard to ignore. Take the Twins to win it at home.
