The Kansas City Royals have won seven games in a row and look like potential playoff contenders. The New York Mets, after a horrendous start to the season, seem to be getting their bearings and are headed in the right direction.

- Moneyline Royals +102
- Moneyline Mets-120
- Over/Under 8

Our Best Pick: Royals to Win
The Royals have won seven consecutive games and have been on an offensive tear, scoring 28 runs over their last three contests. Expect them to continue this trend in this matchup, as right-handed pitching has not been their forte this season. Righty Luis Severino struggled in his debut home start against Milwaukee, giving up six runs while giving up another 13 over his three starts against Kansas City; expect him to struggle slowing them down this game. We got you covered for finding the best
baseball betting apps.
The Mets have won five of their last seven games and have done well offensively as they’ve scored 29 runs over three games. But, in this matchup they may struggle against right-handed pitchers like Wacha who has pitched well against New York in five starts allowing only three runs in two starts; giving up 10 total runs over that span (5-3 overall and giving up only three total in four of those starts. Kansas City’s bullpen should do an excellent job keeping New York at bay – choose Kansas City as they may keep New York at bay easily enough. So consider backing Kansas City over New York in this money line to cover your money line bet.
- Royals bats are hot
-
Mets have won 5 of their last 7 games

Royals vs Mets Moneyline
I love the Royals on the money line, and I don’t think this seven-game win streak is a fluke; the Royals are a solid young team that will only continue to get better. During this seven-game winning streak, the Royals have also destroyed right-handed pitching, and I think that will continue tonight in New York.
-
Royals kill right handed pitchers
-
Both teams playing well
-
Mets are pitching well

Royals vs Mets Over/Under Analysis
I am taking the over in this game as I look for the Royals to score over six runs alone in this game. The Mets will score also and put this run line safely over the eight runs required.
- Both teams hitting the ball well
-
High-Scoring game
- Mets pitching to struggle

Conclusion
Both teams are playing well after slow starts to the season, but with that being said, the Royals are red-hot, winning seven in a row. I do think they will drop a game in this series, but it won’t be this one. The Royals will roll to their eighth straight win tonight.
