The last game of the MLB regular season series between the Kansas City Royals and the Atlanta Braves will take places next Sunday at 11:35 am CST. For the referred game, the odds made the Braves favorites to win after securing a couple of victories in the first two games; however, having Grant Holmes as Atlanta’s probable pitcher for this game could generate some doubts during the first innings.
In this regard, it cannot be ignored that Holmes has a 6W-10L all-time record, so he isn’t expected to secure many strikeouts when facing fantastic hitters like Bobby Witt Jr., Vinnie Pasquantino, and Salvador Pérez. Despite this, Dominic Smith’s walk-off grand slam in the second game of the series against the Royals is expected to allow Atlanta to face this game with higher motivation.
Meanwhile, the Kansas City Royals are expected to have Seth Lugo as the opening pitcher for this game, a man who is one of the most experienced players in the league. Nevertheless, it’s well-known that he’s not exceeding 95 MPH in his pitches, so facing players like Ronald Acuña Jr., Austin Riley, and Matt Olson is expected to produce some hits during the first innings of the game.
