Home crowd, hot arms, slight juice—KC looks worth riding.

May 27, 2025 | 7:40 p.m. ET | Kauffman Stadium

The Kansas City Royals, riding some yo-yo form, are set to face the Cincinnati Reds, who have dropped three of their last five games. Kansas City's pitching staff has been effective, with their starter delivering strong performances recently. In contrast, Cincinnati's lineup has been impacted by injuries, including the absence of a starter recovering from shoulder surgery. The Reds' starting pitcher, while possessing a high strikeout rate, has shown some vulnerability against teams like the Royals in past matchups.
Given the current form and momentum of both teams, backing Kansas City appears to be a solid choice. Their recent success, combined with Cincinnati's challenges, suggests that the Royals have the upper hand in this matchup. While betting always carries risks, the present dynamics favor Kansas City to continue their winning streak.

The Kansas City Royals, riding some okay but not good form, host the Cincinnati Reds, who have three of their last five games. Both teams are dealing with lineup challenges due to injuries. The Royals' starting pitcher has been effective recently, while the Reds' starter has maintained a strong performance this season. Both bullpens have been reliable, with the Royals' bullpen posting a 3.20 ERA and 1.20 WHIP, and the Reds' bullpen recording a 4.11 ERA and 1.24 WHIP.
Considering the current form of both teams, the strength of the starting pitchers, and the reliability of the bullpens, this matchup is likely to be a low-scoring affair. Betting on the Under 8 runs at even money offers solid value, earning a B confidence grade. It's a prudent play for those anticipating a tightly contested game where pitching takes center stage.

The Kansas City Royals, currently on a 4-6 run in their last ten games, are set to face the Cincinnati Reds, who are on a 6-4 run. Kansas City's offense has been bolstered by strong performances from key players, while Cincinnati's lineup has been impacted by injuries to several starters. The Royals' bullpen has faced challenges this season, allowing roughly 40% of inherited runners to score, which ranks among the highest in the majors. On the mound, Kansas City's starter has delivered solid performances recently, whereas Cincinnati's pitcher has yet to face his former team.
Given the current form of both teams and the pitching matchup, backing Kansas City on the run line appears to be a prudent play. While the Royals' bullpen has its vulnerabilities, the team's recent momentum and the Reds' offensive struggles suggest that Kansas City has a favorable chance to cover the spread. This wager carries a solid B confidence grade, indicating a reasonable probability of success with moderate payout potential.
