Yesterday’s Results for Chicago Cubs vs Kansas City Royals

#1 MLB TOTAL OF THE YEAR // LARGEST '26 TOTAL

Analysis: (#925) Chicago Cubs @ (#926) Kansas City Royals | UNDER | . Matthew Boyd (7-1, 3.59 ERA) vs. Randy Dobnak (2-0, 1.16 ERA) . Even though Chicago's the much better of these two teams, I believe that we're going to see an all-out pitching duel on Sunday afternoon. The Cubs will turn to Matthew Boyd in the series finale today. He's having another great season, with stellar numbers across the board. That being said, his road splits are what makes his stats look so good. In these games, he's 2-0 w/ a 2.57 ERA in six games played this season. Looking at the Royals, they are pretty much out of postseason contention for this season. That shouldn't stop Randy Dobnak from doing what he does best. In six games (four starts) this year, he's completely shut down his opponents. Dobnak has been pitching in the big leagues since the 2019 season. But, he's finally putting the pieces together this season and could become a key piece in the future of the Twins organization if he continues the dominance. Yes, the Cubbies have been one of the best hitting teams in baseball this season. However, they are also one of the best defensive teams led by PCA in the outfield. Boyd faced the Royals last season and pitched 7.0 shutout innings in a 6-0 win. Expect another low scoring affair to take place on Sunday. Burns' Prediction: 3-1 Cubs.
