Predicted Outcome

Kansas City comes in slightly stronger, benefiting from more consistent offense and bullpen reliability. While Sandy Alcantara has had success in the past against the Royals, his 2025 performance has been subpar, particularly with an ERA over 7. Kansas City’s advantage on the mound and better win rate as favorites should carry them to a narrow victory. Expect a 4–2 or 5–3 type game, with the Royals taking the win and the total staying under 8.
