Kansas City at Minnesota

This is the third game of a brutal 10-game trek for a brutal Kansas City squad on a 1-8 slide, losing 11-9 and 11-3 the last two days. The Royals are #24 in runs scored and on-base percentage, #26 in slugging, and is 15-45 on the road versus a right-handed starter. Kansas City starter Brad Keller walks too many batters and is worse on the road with a 4.39 ERA allowing 83 hits and 38 walks in 80 innings. Batters hit .272 off him away from home, and he faces a powerhouse offense. Minnesota leads the Majors with 216 home runs, ranking second in runs, fifth in on-base percentage, and tops in slugging. Jake Odorizzi (12-5) has had a fine season with batters hitting .229 off him, and the Twins are 14-4 when he starts at home. Back the home team to win in another rout. Play Minnesota on the runline.
