Royals against Astros prediction, picks & opportunities for today’s MLB game

After a small power failure against the Boston Red Sox, the Kansas City Royals opened their series with the Houston Astros with a bang.

Kansas City triggered Houston 7-5, with Bobby Witt Jr. being the catalyst. Shocking, I know.

My royals against Astros forecasts for Tuesday, May 13th, support the All-Star-Shortstop to make its thing with a player propary as today.

That and more MLB picks for this struggle of the American League with the first pitch by Daikin Park, which sets for 8.10 p.m.

Royals against Astros Prediction

My royals against Astros best bet: Bobby Witt Jr. over 0.5 RBI (+160 at Draftkings)

What can be said about Bobby Witt Jr. that has not yet been said? Well, I’m saying it anyway.

Witts promotion to Superstar has again fueled the Kansas City Royals in the American League for relevance. KC made the post-season and 2024 and starts 25-18 this season.

And while Aaron Judge is the leader in the ALMVP chances, Witt certainly makes a strong argument in itself.

Witt appears this evening with the Houston Astros with .319 with an ops of 0.910, five Homeruns, 25 RBI and 14 stolen bases.

Yes, he does everything. Witt has only six games in the whole season in which he has no goal.

Tonight he will dig into the dough’s box against Houston Starter Framber Valdez. The left -handed Astros had success against Witt in the past, but Valdez does not look like the jug that it used to be.

Valdez has achieved eight starts this season and has an expected era of 4.43, while he makes an expected average of 0.274 to the opponents.

What made Valdez effective in recent years was the mixture of sinker, curve ball and change to keep rackets out of balance and create soft contact. This season he is in the 15th percentile in the average exit speed and in the hard hit rate with 25 percent.

It is enough to say that I think Witt will be on the plate some success tonight. But instead of choosing total bases or hits, runs and RBI, let’s take a look at his RBI market.

Witt beats Kansas City behind Jonathan India in the two-hole and has recently done a much better job to get to the base. India meets in his last nine games with an OBP of 0.316 .316.

And while he only has four career plates against Valdez, India has a .988 XSLG in this matchup. This means that I have the value for Witt to drive at +165 tonight, love that Witt can drive in one run.

Royals against Astros the same game Parlay (SGP)

Bobby Witt Jr. 1+ RBI

Jonathan India 1+ hits

Kris Bubic recorded under 17.5 outs

Well, we could just as well take a pig pack and India in the RBI game to get another knock this evening.

As already mentioned, India is currently in a groove on the plate, hit the ball hard in the past in Valdez and achieved a game last night, where he collected three goals, drove into two parts and scored one himself. He has a total of goals in eleven of his last 14 games.

Let us hand in this same parlay with Royals starter Kris Bubic under 17.5 outs.

Bubic has a great era of 1.69, but he was also the beneficiary of a fairly soft schedule. He stayed under this number in three of his last five starts. The two he passed were against the Chicago White Sox and Colorado Rockies.

Houston has a much better line -up and occupies a respectable 14th and 13th place in WRC+ against left -handers this season in OPS.
