Royals vs Athletics MLB Betting Pick and Prediction for 06/19/2024

 

For tonight’s baseball game, the Kansas City Royals are heading to Oakland to take on the Oakland Athletics. In the first game of this 3-game series, the Athletics won against the Royals. However, will the Royals be able to even out the score tonight? Here is my take on what will happened with my expert Royals vs Athletics MLB Betting Pick, prediction and analysis!


The Kansas City Royals, with a record of 41-32, aim to bounce back following a challenging series against New York and LA. Despite the recent setbacks, the Royals began the season well and are optimistic about their lineup's ability to generate runs.

The Kansas City Royals had a challenging week, finishing with a 2-5 record. They managed to win one game out of four against the New York Yankees at home and one game out of three against the Los Angeles Dodgers on the road. Despite their efforts, the Royals, who were second in the AL Central on Tuesday morning, found themselves trailing the Cleveland Guardians by five games.

According to sportsbook pay per head data, Salvador Perez, boasts a .292 batting average. In addition he also has 11 home runs and 45 RBIs and continues to be a key player in Kansas City's offense. Pitcher Cole Ragans, maintaining a 3.14 ERA and 1.14 WHIP, will play a vital role in containing the Athletics' lineup.

Are the Oakland Athletics in a Slump?

On the other hand, The Oakland Athletics, with a record of 26-48, are committed to protecting their home field. So far in this series, they have been showcasing a strong performance against their AL opponent.

The Oakland Athletics also had a day of rest on Monday. However, will one day of rest be enough to overcome their current slump? On the previous Sunday, the struggling A's experienced an 8-7 loss against the Minnesota Twins, which further extended their losing streak to nine games. Oakland has now lost three consecutive series against the Twins, San Diego Padres, and Toronto Blue Jays.

The team depends on their well-rounded lineup, spearheaded by Brent Rooker. Rooker who has been a standout offensively, hitting .253 with 13 home runs and 41 RBIs. Taking the mound as the starting pitcher is Luis Medina, who carries a 5.87 ERA and 1.50 WHIP into the matchup.

The Royals currently rank third in the ALC with a 41-33 record and are the favorite team for this matchup. The money line on Kansas City has seen a lot of changes ranging from going as low as -165 to as high as -180 in some sportsbooks.

Royals vs Athletics MLB Betting Pick

Bet on the Athletics at -175

According to PPH Sportsbooks, this contest will serve as a measure of endurance for both teams. The Royals will rely on their key players such as Perez to perform, while the Athletics will aim for consistent productivity from their entire lineup.

Oakland's performance has been disappointing throughout the year, and they will have a less capable pitcher on the mound. My prediction is that the Kansas City Royals will win on the road with a final score of 6-4.
