Synopsis:
The Kansas City Royals and Milwaukee Brewers are set to face off at American Family Field in Milwaukee on April 1, 2025. This matchup marks the Brewers’ home opener after a challenging start to the season, where they went winless in their three-game road series against the New York Yankees. The Brewers will be looking to bounce back and end their four-game losing streak.
The Royals, on the other hand, come into this game with a mixed record, having won two of their last four games. Michael Lorenzen is expected to make his 2025 debut for the Royals, while Jackson Chourio will aim to improve his performance at the plate for the Brewers.
Both teams have their strengths and weaknesses. Last season, the Brewers ranked 12th in MLB slugging with a .403 average, while the Royals hit 170 home runs, ranking 20th in the league. Injuries could play a role in this game, with several players from both teams currently on the injured list.
Prediction:
I know the the Brewers are dying for a win here, but how can anyone put trust in Chad Patrick who has no big league experience, and had a massive blow up at the Yankees last week. At least Royals pitcher Lorenzen Michael Lorenzen had a pretty good 3.31 ERA last year across two teams. The Brewers bats still haven’t showed up and their bullpen has been terrible. I think taking a first 5 shot at even money is worth it right here.
Royals 1st 5 +100 – 1 star
