The 16-12 Minnesota Twins and the 7-21 Kansas City Royals will wrap up their 4-game series this afternoon at Target Field. The AL Central leading Twins are expected to send their ace, Sonny Gray, to the hill and he has been outstanding. Gray is a perfect 3-0 with an ERA of only 0.62, a 1.07 WHIP, and has owned the Royals in his career. He is 8-2 with a 1.54 ERA and last faced KC on April 1st, allowing just 3 hits over 5 scoreless innings resulting in a 2-0 Minnesota win. The Twins’ bats should get to the Royals expected starter, Brady Singer. He is 2-2 with an elevated ERA of 6.67 and a 1.37 WHIP. Minnesota is 5-0 in Gray’s last 5 home starts and against a Royals team that is averaging just 3.3 runs per game, the Twins are the side to consider here.
