Royals-Twins MLB Odds & Bets: Lopsided Lines Favor Minnesota
Things don’t look good for the Royals in tomorrow’s game against the Twins. FanDuel and other U.S. outlets have the Twins priced as a -220 favorite compared to +188 for the Royals on the other side. That’s an implied win probability just north of 66% for the home team. It’s hardly set in stone, but certainly a wide margin for any MLB game.
Needless to say, most of the game’s scoring is favored to come from the Twins side. The over/under is 8 runs, and although team props haven’t been released, it’s clear that the MLB odds will side heavily with Minnesota.
The Royals’ Jordan Lyles hasn’t been lit up this season, but he carries a 4:88 ERA and a long track record of mediocrity. Pablo Lopez has had a strong start to the campaign and it looks like that success could continue. It’s baseball, so a lot can change, and neither of the teams have even finished their Wednesday night games.
