The Royals are 7-0. The Twins are 1-6 and a dreadful 1-6 at that. The price remains low enough to keep fading Minnesota while backing the unbeaten Royals.



These records aren't in the slight bit misleading. The Twins are averaging 2.2 runs per game. Kansas City is averaging better than seven runs per game while giving up an average of just 2.5 runs per contest.



Kansas City Edinson Volquez is pitching well. He has a 1.13 ERA going back to his last two starts of 2014 and his first start this season. The Twins haven't seen him since 2007. Twins starter Kyle Gibson had a 4.47 ERA last year is coming off a terrible first-game performance this season against Detroit.



Minnesota is 2-7 in Gibson's last nine starts and 1-8 the past nine times Gibson has pitched against an above .500 opponent.
