Royals - Cubs Prediction, Odds, Pick, How to Watch

One of the hottest teams in baseball, the Chicago Cubs, host the Kansas City Royals today. It is time to continue our MLB odds series with a Royals-Cubs prediction, pick, and how to watch.

The Royals come in after losing three of four to the Mariners in their series this week. It was not the offense that was an issue in the series. The Royals scored 24 runs in the four games, but the pitching let them down. The Royals' pitching allowed 28 runs in the series, and Julio Rodriguez torched them. He went 12-21 in the series, hitting a home run, and three doubles, while driving in 11 runs and stealing two bases. The Royals are well out of the playoff race at 39-84 on the season.

Meanwhile, the Cubs split two games with the White Sox and have won six of their last ten games. Since the All-Star break, the Cubs have scored the second most runs per game, just behind the Braves. Meanwhile, they are 20-11 since the break, giving them the third-best record since then. The Cubs are now 62-58 on the season, which places them in a tie for second in the NL Central, just two games back from the Brewers division.
