Baltimore at Kansas City MLB Pick 08/31/2018

While these teams have the fewest wins in the Majors, each has been playing pretty well as of late. The Orioles have been solid at the plate in winning two in a row, and the Royals have allowed only two runs in each of their last two games. Keller has had three straight good outings while Cashner has given up eight earned runs in his last two starts, which were both Baltimore losses. Not only do the Orioles have the worst record in baseball, but they also have the fewest road wins. Keller will have another good outing while Cashner will not, and the Royals will take the first game of this series winning their 13th home game in their last 15 facing the Orioles.
