After a 13-game losing streak, the Twins have now won two of their last four. They have put up at least 8 runs in three of the four games as well. The Royals have dropped four of their last five, all by 1 run. Despite the hitting surge for the Twins, they have Berrios on the mound today, who is a mess. He has an 11.45 ERA in his last three starts. Kennedy has just a 2.75 ERA in his last three outings, so he should be able to keep the Twins’ hitters from remaining hot. On the flip side, KC should hammer Berrios.
