Bobby Witt Jr. is another player to watch. His batting average is .222, but he has already scored a run and driven in another. The Royals will rely on him to improve as the season progresses.

Kwan has also scored three runs, making him a vital part of their lineup. Carlos Santana’s start has been slower. His batting average is .143, but he managed to score two runs. The team hopes he will improve as more games are played.
Final Betting Pick
The Cleveland Guardians have a slight edge on the money line at -106. Their hitters, like Kyle Manzardo and Steven Kwan, have started strong this season. Manzardo’s .500 batting average and Kwan’s .429 show their ability to get on base and score runs. Last season, the Guardians had a solid road record, which could help them in this game.
