Predictions:

Michael Lorenzen, with a 3.68 ERA , will be the Royals' starting pitcher. While he has generally performed well, he faced difficulties in his last outing against the Cardinals. Meanwhile, Johnny Cueto , who has not yet seen action this season, could be a wildcard for the Angels as his career ERA stands at a solid 3.50. The Angels' offensive firepower will likely play a crucial role, leading them to a Game 3 victory.
