The Kansas City Royals are seeking their first win in the finale of their three-game series against the Colorado Rockies (32-57) on Sunday, July 7th, at 3:10 PM ET at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado. The Royals are favored to find success, with their moneyline coming in at -165.
The Royals have yet to win a game in this series, which is disappointing since the Rockies are weaker. Their last battle was a 3-1 loss in Game 2, and they have now lost three consecutive games.
A lot of their pressure on offense revolves around Bobby Witt Jr., who currently ranks third overall in the league with a .320 batting average and will have a huge impact on this game.
They will have Brady Singer (4-5) to start on the mound. He offers a 3.05 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP so far and should be a strong candidate for their defense in the first handful of innings.
The Royals are getting lucky with games turning in their favor since they average .245 at the plate and give up .243 to opponents. This offers little breathing room in case they have a bad day offensively.
The Rockies have now won three straight, including a 4-3 Game 4 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers before starting this series. So far, they have averaged 3.50 runs and allowed 1.50 in return against the Royals.
One key player to focus on for their offense would be Ryan McMahon. He leads them with 14 homers and 45 RBIs, which more will be needed here if they want to keep the ball rolling against the Royals.
As for their pitching, they are starting Tanner Gordon, who will be making his MLB debut. He will have a lot of pressure to perform, especially with their team ERA at 5.47. If he can keep the game respectable within the first handful of innings, then he will be able to do his job.
They can keep up with the Royals' offense with a .245 batting average, but their defense has been killing them this season. They have been allowing their opponents to average .288 at the plate.
The upcoming MLB showdown has the most recent odds from MyBookie, revealing the Royals as favorites. Despite being on the road, they have the best chance of winning based on their offense.
They currently have a 59.7 percent chance of success. While this game could be volatile, the stats support a victory for the Royals. Consider them for your next MLB betting opportunity.
