Key Storylines
Pitching Matchup
Caden Dana is a young right-hander who is making only his third appearance after struggling in his first two. His 7.50 ERA shows he’s still adjusting to big-league hitting. Ryan Bergert will get the start for the Royals in this contest. He is 2-1 on the season with a 2.67 ERA in 64 innings of work. Bergert will be expected to help the Royals gain an advantage early in this matchup.
Key Players
- Angels: The bullpen of the Angels will be the key for them in this game. Dana hasn’t lasted more than three innings in his first two trips to the mound. LA’s relievers may have a big workload here.
- Royals: Bobby Witt Jr. and Vinnie Pasquantino are the stars in the lineup for Kansas City and will look to tee off on the Angels’ pitching staff.
Recent Team Streaks
- The Angels have won three of their last four games coming into this contest.
- The Royals have dropped three of their last four games and are 2.5 games out of the final AL Wild Card spot.

Final Thoughts
The Royals should have a clear advantage in this game. They have a known quantity on the mound in Bergert, who has done good work this season. Bergert should outperform Dana in my opinion. I expect the Royals to win this game by at least two runs, covering the runline in the process.
