San Francisco Giants is having such a touch calendar in the last part of the regular season, because just one day after finishing their series against Baltimore Orioles, they’ll face the first game of the series against Kansas City Royals. In this regard, even when they were able to win the series against the Orioles, the Giants aren’t expected to show dominance again.

Most of that expectation comes from the great season that the Royals have had but being necessary to remark that they lost 4 games in a row. Those bad results already put them 6.0 games behind Cleveland Guardians in the AL Central Division, so the recent individual performance from Bobby Witt Jr. has been totally senseless as the team isn’t responding at all in the most important matches.

Meanwhile, San Francisco Giants can be labeled as one of the teams that are already eliminated as they’re 10.0 games behind the Wild Card spots. Even so, they showed such a great mentality after scoring 15 runs in the first 2 games of the series against the Orioles, numbers that are impressive if it’s considered that Matt Chapman didn’t participate in those games.

By doing so, the Royals could take advantage of the bad performance that Mason Black from the Giants is currently having. Therefore, the pick for Kansas City Royals – San Francisco Giants is: Kansas City Royals Total Runs – Over 4.5!
