Royals vs Twins prediction
My Royals vs Twins best bet: Ty France Over 1.5 hits + runs + RBI (-110 at DraftKings)
The Minnesota Twins have enjoyed life at Target Field this season. They're 17-7 at home as opposed to 11-15 on the road to keep them in the thick of the AL Central.
Veteran starter Michael Wacha is set to take the mound on Saturday for the Kansas City Royals. Twins first baseman Ty France has tormented the righthander throughout his career.
In 22 at-bats against Wacha, France is batting .500 with a slugging percentage of .864. He has five singles, five doubles, and one home run against the righthander.
France is swinging the bat well right now after hitting his fourth home run of the season on Friday night. He’s now gone Over 1.5 hits + runs + RBI in back-to-back games and four of his last five for a 52% hit rate on the season. That goes up to 57% at home thanks to 2+ HRR in eight of his last 10 contests at Target Field.
France usually hits in the middle of the Twins' lineup, giving himself plenty of opportunities to pick up some RBI or score himself if he gets on base. He's batting .253 with 19 runs and 26 RBI in 48 games this season.
