Minnesota Twins vs Los Angeles Dodgers – Under 8.5 Runs
Minnesota visits Dodger Stadium with a slightly below .500 record (48-52) and mixed form in the past 10 games. They won five of those, including a strong outing against Pittsburgh, but struggle with consistency. Byron Buxton is a key player, yet their offensive performance fluctuates.
The defending World Series champion Dodgers hold a better season record (59-42), but recent games show struggles (3 wins in 10). Key pitchers like Yoshinobu Yamamoto aim to stabilize the team, while Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman lead the offense. The Dodgers lead head-to-head matchups (12-7 wins over the Twins).
- Under 8.5 runs scored: Past meetings between these teams featured tight pitching, with both lineups currently inconsistent. With Yamamoto pitching for the Dodgers and Minnesota’s offensive struggles, a low-scoring game is anticipated.
- Dodgers Moneyline: Despite recent challenges, the home-field Dodgers remain favored (55% win probability). With Minnesota not performing well on the road, Los Angeles has the advantage given their season quality.

Kansas City Royals vs. Chicago Cubs – Cubs on the Moneyline
The Chicago Cubs and Kansas City Royals continue their series at Wrigley Field, where the Cubs aim to recover after losing the opener. Chicago stands at 59-42 with a strong home record; Kansas City is at 49-41, aiming to improve in the AL Central.
Chicago will have Matthew Boyd (10-3, 2.34 ERA) on the mound, while Richard Hill debuts for the Royals. The Cubs have dealt with rotation issues but maintain a strong lineup, especially at home. Kansas City boasts a team ERA of 3.50, a highlight this season.
- Cubs Moneyline: At home, the Cubs are clear favorites (-240 moneyline). They have excelled as favorites and are difficult to bet against at Wrigley, especially with Boyd pitching. Their combination of consistent offense and depth suggests a bounce-back win.
- Royals +1.5 Runs: Kansas City’s strong pitching has kept them competitive, and taking them at +1.5 offers some insurance if they keep it close. Hill’s performance is uncertain, but the Royals have been decent (6-4 in the last 10). The Cubs have been .500 recently, so a tight game isn’t out of the question.
| Royals | Cubs | |
| H2H (this season, W–L) | 1-0 | 0-1 |
