The Minnesota Twins, still trying to find their groove with a 1-3 record, are heading to Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, to face the Kansas City Royals, who are sitting pretty at 2-2. The matchup, scheduled for 2:10 PM and available on MLB.TV, promises to be an interesting clash of styles, with Taj Bradley (RHP, #26) taking the mound for the Twins and Cole Ragans (LHP, #55) looking to redeem himself for the Royals after a lackluster 9.00 ERA in his last outing. Bradley, boasting a shiny 2.08 ERA, will try to keep the Royals' bats in check, while Ragans hopes to turn his season around against a Twins lineup that's hitting a mere .200 - not exactly the most intimidating figure.
The Twins and Royals are pretty evenly matched, with the Twins' 3.82 ERA just a hair worse than the Royals' 3.67, and their batting averages almost identical, with the Twins at .200 and the Royals at .192. The Twins are, however, dealing with a few key injuries, including Cory Lewis and Julian Merryweather on the 7-Day IL, which could give the Royals an edge. With these factors in play, it's anyone's guess who'll come out on top - so make your pick or follow the discussion on StreakChat to see how it all goes down.
