Kansas City's offense has been dreadful, mustering 10 hits and two runs in two games. Their on-base percentage is .246 (26th), after ranking 22nd in 2025. The Royals are 2-0 UNDER this season, part of a 23-18 run UNDER. Atlanta starter Grant Holmes had a 2.93 ERA at home last year, where he held visitors to a .222 average. The Braves are on an 18-12 run UNDER the total, including 12-6 UNDER at home. Play Kansas City/Atlanta UNDER the total.

Pro Picks
Kansas City at Atlanta
Atlanta got off to a quick start behind Chris Sale, as the Braves won 6-0 in the first game of this series, and this season. Kansas City will try to regroup in game 2 behind Michael Wacha. Wacha went 10-13 last season, but did have a strong 3.86 ERA and deserved a better fate. The Braves look to open 2-0 behind Reynaldo Lopez. It has been over a year since Lopez started a game, and Wacha has had success vs. the NL East, where he is 23-16, and +4.8 units of profit. I like Kansas City tonight.

Pro Picks
Kansas City at Atlanta
There are question marks surrounding Kansas City's bullpen for the new season. That's a concern for the opener with Cole Ragans (4.67 ERA in 2025) on the mound. The offense was 26th in runs, 22nd in on-base percentage, 17th in steals, and 26th in homers. Atlanta is expected to bounce back from a disappointing 2025. Ronald Acuna Jr. has looked great this spring, and the offense last year was 13th in the majors in runs scored and 12th in on-base percentage. Lefty Chris Sale (2.58 ERA in 2025) had a strong spring training (2.75 ERA), so back home field. Play Atlanta.
