Pick
The Royals will go for the series sweep in this matchup, which is something they haven’t been able to do very often this year. The pitching matchup in this Game leaves a lot to be desired, as both pitchers have terrible ERA’s. Kansas City is starting Brady Singer, who has allowed 2, 2, 4, and 6 earned runs in his last four starts. New York is starting Carlos Carrasco, who has allowed 6, 5, and 4 earned runs in his last three starts. Carrasco has been awful lately and I cannot take the Mets with him on the mound. Give me the Royals here.
