The San Francisco Giants and the Kansas City Royals will close their three-game set this Sunday from Oracle Park. Kansas City rallied back over the final four innings to escape with the win yesterday, 6-5.

Royals Betting Preview

Kansas City moved to 3-6 after defeating San Fran. The Royals have come to the Bay ready to play, and they’ll look to complete the sweep here. The Kansas City offense is scoring 4.37 runs per game, while batting .186, with a .264 on-base percentage. The pitching staff carries a 3.78 ERA, with a 1.32 WHIP. Salvador Perez has homered in both games versus San Francisco.

Kris Bubic (0-1, 3.60 ERA, 4 Ks) will get the call for Kansas City. The fourth-year pitcher held his own against a tough Toronto lineup, only giving up two runs in five innings of work, but he failed to receive the run support.

Giants Betting Preview

San Francisco is 3-5 after the loss to KC. The Giants blew another late lead, and that’s beginning to become a trend early. The San Francisco offense is scoring 4.85 runs per game, while batting .261, with a .353 on-base percentage. The pitching staff carries a 4.57 ERA, with a 1.32 WHIP. J.D. Davis has recorded a hit in four straight games, and he leads SFG in batting average (.381)

Anthony DeSclafani (1-0, 0.00 ERA, 4 Ks) will make his first start of the year for San Francisco. The ninth-year pitcher looked good in his season debut versus the White Sox, tossing six shutout innings in the Southside, and earning the winning decision. 

KC vs Sf Trends

Kansas City is 3-6 against the spread this season, with a 4-5 over/under record. San Francisco is 3-5 ATS this year, with a 5-3 O/U record.

Corey's Free Pick

San Francisco has to put their foot down this Sunday, because a sweep from the Royals is the last thing they need mentally before starting a series with the Dodgers this week. The Giants will carry an advantage on the mound, and if they avoid going stagnant offensively down the stretch, they should be able to avenge yesterday’s late loss. Back San Francisco at home for this interleague clash.

Corey’s Pick Giants -1.5
