Team Analysis
Kansas City Royals
The Royals sit at an even 78-78, but their 36-40 road record spotlights their inconsistency away from home. Over the last 5 games they are 3-2 with 7.0 RPG, showing offensive spark but not sustained dominance. Vinnie Pasquantino’s production anchors the lineup, yet overall the team has not consistently translated offensive bursts into wins on the road.
Across the last 10 games Kansas City is 5-5 with 6.5 RPG, a profile that suggests volatility rather than steady momentum. Bobby Witt Jr. and Salvador Perez provide additional power threats, but the team’s tendency to alternate wins and losses makes them a less reliable betting side. Their away form remains the biggest obstacle, leaving them vulnerable against a power-hitting opponent in Los Angeles.

- OBP: 0.308
- SLG: 0.396

- ERA: 3.77
- WHIP: 1.25
Away Record: 36-40 • Home Record: 43-38
Last 5 Games: 3-2 (7.0 RPG)
Last 10 Games: 5-5 (6.5 RPG)
Los Angeles Angels
The Angels have struggled overall at 70-86, but their 37-39 record at home shows they are more competitive in this environment. Over the last 5 games they are 1-4 with 3.2 RPG, a slump that masks the underlying power in their lineup. Jo Adell’s home run output remains a key weapon capable of shifting momentum quickly when given opportunities at the plate.
The last 10 games show a 1-9 record with 2.6 RPG, but that downturn is not reflective of the team’s season-long power metrics. Taylor Ward and Zach Neto add credible depth, and with Kansas City Royals’ inconsistency on the road the Angels are positioned to rebound. Playing at home where their offense has historically been steadier, the Angels carry more upside for bettors than their recent skid suggests.
- Batting Average: 0.226
