The third game of the series between Kansas City Royals and Cleveland Guardians will be disputed next Wednesday, September 04th at 05:40 pm Central Time. This clash will impact in such a huge way both teams’ aspirations, as both are part of the AL Central Division, which can be recognized as one of the most competitive of this season.
On the one hand, Kansas City Royals is in the third spot of the AL Central Division, and after losing the first game of the series against the Guardians, they increased their gap to 4.5 games behind. With that pressure on, the Royals will play this as a must-win game, expecting to have a brilliant performance by Bobby Witt Jr. who has been the most dangerous player in the squad with 117 runs, 30 home runs and 187 hits throughout the season.
On the other hand, Cleveland Guardians remains as the AL Central Division leader, being necessary to note that they don’t only have pressure from the Royals, but also from Minnesota Twins. In this regard, this will also be a must-win game for them, so the main expectation will be having Jose Ramirez on his best possible shape, as he has cooperated with 101 runs, 34 home runs and 146 hits this season.
