Two teams that have had an inconsistent start to the campaign will meet again this Sunday afternoon when the Kansas City Royals host the Houston Astros for the third consecutive time.

Houston Astros vs Kansas City Royals: Under

Both the Astros and the Royals are two teams that have struggled to produce runs this campaign, with the former averaging just 3.68 runs per game and the latter around 3.19 (second worst in MLB). Those problems are likely to continue here considering the two starting pitchers. Hunter Brown has a terrific ERA of 1.16 and has not allowed any runs in his last three appearances (19.0 innings), while Kris Bubic has an ERA of 1.45 and is coming off limiting the Rockies to just 4 hits with no runs in 7.0 innings.

Injuries for Houston Astros:

C. Javier Out.

L. García Out.

Injuries for Kansas City Royals:

D. Blanco Out.

A. Marsh Out.

K. Wright Out.

Houston Astros vs Kansas City Royals: Royals Moneyline

Although their offense has been quite poor, the Royals have managed to compensate for that with great pitching, especially at home, where they have a record of 10-3, and we expect they can do enough to help Bubic here, as the 27-year-old left-hander should be able to limit a visiting offense that is also usually unproductive.

Houston Astros vs Kansas City Royals Prediction

This game will be a true pitching duel, with Brown and Bubic arriving in great form and facing two weak offenses, so runs will be at a premium. That being said, the home field factor will be key in this clash, so we are confident that the Royals can take advantage of the support of their fans and take the win.
