The Royals will match up against Taijuan Walker. Walker has simply been terrible, allowing a .273/.393 line to lefties, and a .241/.372 line to righties. Walker also struggles to miss any bats, which adds to the appeal of the Royals. Walker primarily throws his sinker to righties, which has us staring at Bobby Witt as one of our top options. Witt boasts a .322/.483 line against righty sinkers this year and is primed to break out tonight. Other righties we like are Salvador Perez (.234/.422 vs RH sinkers), and Paul Dejong (.215/.355 vs RH sinkers). To lefties, Walker mixes his pitches pretty evenly but allows the most damage when using his splitter. The splitter is historically Walker’s go-to pitch, so it makes sense for him to be struggling this season, considering he has lost his most dominant pitch. Our top KC lefties are Vinnie Pasquatino (.255/.355 vs RH splitters), and MJ Melendez (.213/.336 vs RHP). The Royals have a ton of upside as a result. Lock in the over for KC!
