Kansas City vs Baltimore prediction

Kansas City Royals will send Danny Duffy (2-3 with a 4.55 ERA) to the mound for the opening game of their three-game set against the visiting Baltimore Orioles.Duffy posted a 4.55 ERA in his previous seven starts this season, which is actually somehow misleading, considering the fact that the 28-year-old left-hander pitched well in most of them, as he yielded two or fewer earned runs and lasted at least six innings in five of them.Duffy is 2-2 with a 2.16 ERA in six appearances (four starts) against the Orioles over the last three years.Baltimore counters with Dylan Bundy (5-1 with a 2.17 ERA).The right-hander is obviously in a good shape in early season, as he limited his opponents to three or fewer earned runs in each of his previous seven contests in 2017.It will be his first start against the Royals.I expect less than nine runs in that game.
