My Prediction
Kansas City Royals by 2Alright, sports romantics, buckle up because we are on a roll in the baseball city of Baltimore where the Orioles are welcoming the Kansas City Royals at the batting-friendly Oriole Park. Now let's start digging into the facts and facets of the game, shall we?
On the mound for the Royals, we've got Michael Wacha who's been throwing some wicked pitches this season with an ERA of 3.53 and hearty 7.6 strikeouts per nine innings. On the flip side, the Orioles are sending out Dean Kremer whose numbers look a bit like a horror show. His ERA sits at an unsightly 7.50 and I've seen snails move faster than his strikeout rate.
Turning our attention to the men swinging the lumber, the Royals are boasting the young phenom Bobby Witt Jr. who's hitting a solid .343 and adding 13 RBIs. He's joined by the ever-ruthless Mark Canha, while Vinnie Pasquantino and Salvador Perez are adding a taste of struggle with batting averages that have seen better days. Now the Orioles, they've got Cedric Mullins cracking home runs like Paul Bunyan chops trees. Ramon Urias and Ryan O'Hearn are joining the party too, but let's just say they're not exactly setting the world on fire.
Flipping the history book, the Royals and Orioles have been exchanging blows with no clear favorite. But if we peek at their recent outings, the Royals have more often than not emerged from the dust victorious. Plus, they've got a decent record of 17-15 this season, while the Orioles are gasping with a 12-18 mark, less than stellar I have to say.
Put it all in the blender and here's my cheeky prediction.
