Royals vs Twins
Underdog bats booming toward a royal upset in Minneapolis

Royals (28-23) VS Twins (27-22)
23 May 2025 | 8:10 PM ET | Target Field, Minneapolis

Kansas City enters this matchup on some okay but not good form, with a 4-6 run in their last ten games, while Minnesota is looking to regain its footing after a couple of tough losses and some key lineup absences. The Royals have been generating plenty of offense lately, while the Twins’ bats have cooled off, and their lineup depth is being tested. With a strong recent track record against Minnesota from the starting pitcher and the Royals’ lineup taking advantage of matchups, the gap between these two clubs feels narrower than the current odds suggest.
Honestly, with how Kansas City is swinging it right now and the Twins missing some important pieces, there’s good value in siding with the underdog. It’s one of those situations where recent form and momentum are hard to overlook, even if the odds aren’t screaming upset.

Kansas City rolls into this matchup looking a bit worse for wear, while Minnesota is dealing with a few key injuries but are coming in with an 8-2 run in their last ten games. Both teams have been putting up solid run totals lately, and with some vulnerabilities in each pitching staff, the conditions look ripe for an offensive game. The Royals’ lineup is mostly healthy and has a track record of success against Minnesota’s starter, while the Twins’ hitters have found ways to get to Kansas City’s pitching before, even with some regulars out.
Honestly, with the way both teams are swinging the bats and the current state of the pitching staffs, the over on 7.5 runs feels like a great play. The odds give you good value, and it just makes sense with how these teams are built right now.

Kansas City enters this one with a lack of momentum, while Minnesota is still shorthanded and struggling to find consistency after dropping their massive win streak earlier in the week. The Royals’ offense has been finding ways to get it done, and their bullpen has quietly become a strength lately. With the Twins missing some key pieces and Kansas City’s track record of keeping games close in this park, there’s a lot to like about the Royals keeping the margin to only 1 run, even if the price isn’t a bargain.
Honestly, with the way things are shaping up, taking Kansas City on the run line feels like the right call. They’re hot, they’ve matched up well here before, and Minnesota just hasn’t looked sharp—sometimes you’ve just got to ride the streak and take the value.
