Trey Mancini leads the Orioles with 63 hits and 25 RBI, while Austin Hays and Cedric Mullins have combined for 116 hits and 54 RBI. Dean Kremer gets the ball, and he is 0-1 with a 6.23 ERA and 3 strikeouts this season. This will be Kremer’s first career game against the Royals.

Andrew Benintendi leads the Royals with 66 hits and 22 RBI, while Whit Merrifield and Bobby Witt Jr. have combined for 105 hits and 54 RBI.

The Orioles are 13-40 in their last 53 road games and 61-129 in their last 190 overall. The Royals are 7-15 in their last 22 home games and 18-37 in their last 55 overall. The over is 8-2-1 in Orioles last 11 overall. The over is 4-0 in Royals last 4 Sunday games. The Orioles are 6-20 in the last 26 meetings in Kansas City.

Dean Kremer has just 4.1 innings under his belt this season, and he wasn’t good in that game against the Guardians. Brad Keller hasn’t been much better this season, which includes allowing 50 hits and 25 earned runs in his last 42 innings. Keller has been at his best at home, but his current form isn’t great, to say the last. This feels like it’s going to be a high scoring contest. Give me the over.
