Date and Time: Friday, September 17,2021 2:10 am
Venue: Kauffman Stadium
Prediction: Kansas City Royals
Bookmaker: 1xbet

The Oakland Athletics and the Kansas City Royals will meet on Friday at Kauffman Stadium.

Oakland played the Rangers over the weekend, winning Friday but losing the remaining pair in that series. Over on the Royals’ side, they played the Twins over the weekend. KC lost last Saturday but won the other two games. In Friday’s matchup, the Royals posted 14 hits in the victory. Jackson Kowar lasted just one inning with five earned, three hits and four walks.

Kansas City will win this match. Minor has been pretty solid over his last two games, posting two earned on 10 hits and one homer in 11.0 innings during that stretch. As for Manaea, he’s got just three earned on 10 hits, one homer and one walk in his last 14.0 frames. This should be a pretty interesting starting pitcher battle, and I like both guys to flirt with quality outings.
