The Baltimore Orioles will travel to Kansas City, Missouri to face the Kansas City Royals at Ewing, M. Kauffman Stadium with the first pitch scheduled for 2:10 PM ET on Sunday afternoon and will air on Bally Sports Kansas City and MAS2.

 

The Baltimore Orioles have one of the best teams in the American League this season and are projected to compete with the New York Yankees for the AL East division title. The Orioles have lived up to those expectations to start the season as they enter Game 3 against the Royals with the 2^nd best record in the AL Central and the 3^rd best record in the American League at 13-7 following Saturday’s 9-7 win in Game 2 of the series against the Royals.

Baltimore has won four of their first six series to start the 2024 MLB season and will be looking to win their 5^th series to start the 2024 MLB season after losing Game 1 against the Royals and winning Game 2, Game 3 on Sunday will decide the winner in the series. The Orioles won the series at home earlier this season 2-1 and have won seven of the previous ten games in the series while winning by an average margin of .8 runs per game in those meetings.

The Baltimore Orioles will look to win their 2^nd series of the season against the Kansas City Royals when they travel to face the Royals for Game 3 of the series.

 

The Kansas City Royals entered the season without any high expectations for the 2024 MLB season as they entered with an over/under win total of 74.5 games, however, they have gotten off to one of the better starts in the last few seasons and enter this game with a record of 13-8 which puts them in 2^nd place in the AL Central, only behind the Cleveland Guardians, and gives them the 4^th best record in the American League.

The Royals have lost three of their first six series to start the season with one of the series losses coming on the road against the Baltimore Orioles in a 1-2 series loss earlier this month. The Royals have struggled in the series against the Orioles, losing seven of the last ten and two of the previous three meetings while losing by an average margin of .8 runs per game over the last ten, however, they have outscored Baltimore by an average of 6.33 to 5.33 runs per game over the previous three meetings.

The Kansas City Royals will look to avoid their 2^nd series loss to start the 2024 MLB season against the Baltimore Orioles when they host the Orioles for Game 3 of the series on Sunday afternoon.

 

JustBet has the Kansas City Royals listed as -129 moneyline favorites at home against the Baltimore Orioles in Game 3 of the series on Sunday afternoon. Baltimore has won seven of the last ten games in the series by an average margin of .8 runs per game. Cole Irvin has lost two of his last three starts against the Royals including a loss earlier this season while Seth Lugo has started the season off with a record of 3-0 with a 1.05 ERA while recording 13 strikeouts.

 

Baltimore has won seven of the last ten games in the series, however, Cole Irvin has struggled in his starts against Kansas City with a record of 1-2 over his last three starts against the Royals. Seth Lugo has been one of the better pitchers to start the season and has played a pivotal role in the success the pitching staff has had this season as he enters this game with a record of 3-0 and an ERA of 1.05. As a result, I am taking the moneyline for the Kansas City Royals when they host the Baltimore Orioles for Game 3 of the series on Sunday afternoon.
