Kansas City Royals vs Oakland Athletics

Location of the game: Oakland Coliseum; Oakland, CA.

Date & Time: Monday, August 21. 6:40 pm PT.

How to watch: NBCS-CA

The Kansas City Royals have dropped five out of their last six games. During those five losses, the Royals have only been outscored by a total of eight runs. Winning close games seems to be a problem for the Royals. In the win on Friday, Bobby Witt Jr hit a go-ahead home run for Kansas City.

Witt Jr is having a solid season for Kansas City. His MLB player stats show he is hitting .281 on the season and has clubbed 24 home runs and drove in 79 runs. The Royals are 27th in all of Major League Baseball in runs scored, with 502, and have the third-worst on-base percentage in the game as well.

Tucker Davidson gets to take the mound for the Kansas City Royals in this game. Davidson is a 27-year-old left-hander who will be making his first career start. He has thrown 88 innings out of relief and allowed 51 hits and 27 earned runs.

Davidson has 37 strikeouts on the season. Kansas City Royals games have been dreadful all season due to lack of offense and poor pitching. The Kansas City Royals roster has been in flux all season due to injuries and poor play.

Oakland is coming off a weekend to forget. In fact, the entire season has been a season to forget. Baltimore scored 28 runs in the series and scored just seven in the loss.

The Orioles smacked three home runs on the Oakland pitching. The Athletics are dead last in all of Major League Baseball in runs scored. The Athletics also have the worst batting average in the game as well.

Paul Blackburn is the starter for Oakland in this game. Blackburn is 3-3 on the season, with a 4.09 earned run average. The 29-year-old is coming off his best outing of the season on August 16th in St. Louis. He went seven innings, allowing six hits and not a run. Blackburn struck out eight batters in the win.

This is going to be a pretty ugly series of Major League Baseball. Both MLB teams are full of guys trying to prove their worth in this league but struggling to do so.

It’s going to be interesting to see if Kansas City can win a couple of games on the road.

The Athletics have the pitching advantage here, as the Royals are likely going to have to use the bullpen more than Oakland.

Look for the Oakland Athletics to win this game on Monday due to their ability to get outs. Bet Oakland -1.5 (+154)! Also, take the under 9!

Neither team is going to score very many runs. Neither team is great offensively.

• But in the end, our Royals vs Athletics betting picks: Oakland Athletics and the under.

Barring any late additions to the MLB injury report, the final score prediction for this game is the Oakland Athletics 5-2 over the Kansas City Royals on Monday. Hope you like our MLB Picks!
