Baltimore Orioles vs Kansas City Royals Prediction, Odds and Picks for Friday, 04/04/25

In this game we will see the Baltimore Orioles travel to Missouri to take on the Kansas City Royals. Both teams are coming off of losing series and hoping for a turnaround in this one. On the mound will be Dean Kremer for the Orioles taking on Seth Lugo for the Royals. Kremer pitched in 1 game so far this year against the Toronto Blue Jays in which he gave up 5 hits and 5 runs. Lugo has also started 1 game this year and gave up 4 hits and 3 runs to the Cleveland Guardians. The difference between these 2 debut outings is that the Blue Jays are among the top hitting teams in MLB, while the Guardians are firmly in the middle of the pack.

On the hitting side for these squads, the Orioles have a batting average of .281 with 36 runs scored on 65 hits; the Royals come in at .213 with 23 runs scored on 44 hits. Based on these statistics we can see that both teams are averaging close to 2 hits per run scored. This has been the challenge for both teams in the previous 2 games, as the Orioles have combined for 12 hits and the Royals for 8 hits in their previous losses. As we can see, both teams are hopeful to turn the scoring around in this one. Based on the competition that Kremer faced in the first game, I believe that he should have a much easier time in this one. I also think that we have to give the lineup advantage to the Orioles, as they are one of the top hitting teams in the MLB. Overall, it seems the O’s could have a majority chance at winning this game — and we are getting them at a ‘dog price.
