Kansas City Royals vs San Francisco Giants Prediction

The San Francisco Giants are worth a look because Snell is on the mound and the Royals aren’t playing great ball at the worst possible time. With that said, we’re not getting enough bang for our buck to pull the trigger with the Giants. The Royals are still the better team, at home, fighting for a playoff spot and Seth Lugo has been one of the best pitchers in baseball this season. Lugo has gone 7 innings and allowed 1 or fewer runs in 3 of his last 4 starts. He feels like the guy who can stop the bleeding and get the Royals on track. Give me the Royals.
