Predicted Outcome

Kansas City enters this game with pitching and betting edges. Angel Zerpa has looked reliable (3‑1, 4.15 ERA), and Royals rarely falter when sizable favorites. The Braves have struggled offensively and in relief support, and Wentz carries a high ERA (5.76) and has not inspired confidence on the mound. Expect a low-scoring, Royals‑led win. Final score projection: Royals 5, Braves 3.
