Key Storylines
Pitching matchup
Ryan Bergert has been effective so far in 2025. He has a 2.83 ERA with 36 strikeouts over 41.1 innings in his time between the San Diego Padres and the Royals. The Twins have yet to confirm who their starting pitcher is going to be for this game. I would urge bettors to keep their eyes open for that announcement prior to the game to make the most informed decisions possible when betting this game.
Key Players
- Royals: Vinnie Pasquantino leads the Royals with 69 RBI and he will look to bounce back from an 0-4 game on Saturday.
- Twins: Matt Wallner had a big game to open this series for the Twins and will be an important bat for them here.

I’ll take the Royals to win this game, win this series, and get back to the .500 mark for the year.
