Brewers vs Royals: Hot Start Battle

0:00On April 3rd, Brewers sitting pretty at 5 wins and won loss, facing off against the Royals who are 3 and 3. Game kicks off tonight in Kansas City at 7.45pm Eastern, starting a 3-game series. Chad Patrick ticks the mound from Milwaukee, with a sharp 2.08 ERA, while Luwinder Avalas starts for the Royals. Both teams even on the betting line at minus 110 each, with the over-under at 9 runs. Royals posted 82 and 80 last season, solid at home with 43 and 38, and their pitches clocked to 3.74. ERA, while fanning 8 per 9 innings. Brewers crushed it at 97 and 65 overall, 45 and 36 on the road, averaging 5 runs scored, and just 3.9, allowed per game. That firepower could test Kansas City staff early in the year, injuries hitting both squads hard. Royals missing Michael Waka, day-to-day with illness, plus several on the I.L., like Carlos Estevez with a foot issue and Michael Massey nursing a calf.
