Today’s matchup is between the Kansas City Royals (29-30) and the Los Angeles Angels (29-32). The Royals have won 1 of their last 5 games & the Angels have won 4 of their last 5 games.
The Royals are starting Jean Brad Keller (RHP), who is 6-4 on the season with a 5.5 ERA, 4.70 FIP, 0.37 wOBA, K% of 19.5%, BB% of 9.5%, 91.5 MPH average exit velocity, and a 1.72 WHIP in 55.2 innings pitched.
The Angels are starting Griffin Canning (RHP), who is 4-4 on the season with a 5.82 ERA, 5.53 FIP, 0.375 wOBA, K% of 26.2%, BB% of 10.5%, 89.8 MPH average exit velocity, and a 1.51 WHIP in 43.1 innings pitched.
The Royals are 20th in the Majors in Relieving Pitching (WAR) while the Angels are 26th.
On the hitting side, the Royals have a .304 wOBA and a .306 OBP with 57 HRs. While the Angels have a .315 wOBA and a .310 OBP with 75 HRs.
This game is as unpredictable as it gets with 2 bad pitchers on the mound. I lean towards the Angels because of their hitting so that's the pick.
