Yesterday’s Results for Minnesota Twins vs Kansas City Royals

MLB Opening Day Winner - Thursday

Analysis: Opening day of the season for these two teams as the Minnesota Twins travel to KC to take on the Royals Pablo Lopez will toe the rubber for the Twins here on opening day. Lopez was 11-8 with a 3.66 ERA last season. The Royals will send Cole Ragans to the hill. Ragans was 7-5 with a 3.47 ERA last year. The Twins won the AL Central last year and where shocked in the playoffs by the Astros. The Royal lost a franchise record 106 games last year and finished last in the division. They Twins pretty much stood pat over the offseason, though they lost starters Sonny Gray and Kenta Maeda. Minnesota had one of the best pitching staff's last season with a 3.83 ERA and opposing batting average of just .236 which was sixth in the AL. The Royals made a number of offseason moves to improve a team that had a horrible year. They brought in Hunter Renfroe and Adam Frazier to help with the offense. I think the Royals will be better this year, but that isn't saying much. I still like this Minnesota pitching staff and Lopez should have another excellent season. I'll take the Twins to start the season with win here in KC.
