Kansas City Royals vs. Pittsburgh Pirates
Saturday, September 14, 2024 – 01:05 PM ET at PNC Park
Royals Pitching Profile
Veteran righty Michael Wacha (12-7, 3.34 ERA, 1.19 WHIP) will do the honors for the Royals after twirling a gem against the Twins last Sunday in which he allowed zero runs on four hits over seven full innings of work in a 2-0 Kansas City victory. The 33-year-old has grown sharper as the season has grown older, having only one shaky start over his last seven outings.
Pirates Pitching Profile
Mitch Keller (11-9, 3.85 ERA, 1.296 WHIP) gets the tap this afternoon after putting in a solid six innings of work in his last effort which saw him allow two earned runs on seven hits in an 8-6 loss to the Nationals last Saturday.
The Pick
Although the Bucs lost last night to the Royals, they have been playing well as of late. However, Saturday afternoon is a bona fide pitching mismatch. Michael Wacha has been dealing nothing but filth over the last six weeks and this Pirates lineup is not potent enough to upset his apple cart.
Lay it with the Royals.
Predicted Score: Royals 7 – Pirates 1
