Royals, Giants Conclude Series in San Francisco on Sunday
Giants Looking To Salvage Series
If you are looking to make some MLB picks on Sunday, then you are going to have plenty of games to look at. The San Francisco Giants play host to the Kansas City Royals in an interleague series finale on Sunday afternoon.
The Kansas City Royals don’t have a ton of expectations this weekend, but they have also been playing great baseball. Kansas City is 3-6, but the Royals are trying to complete an impressive three-game sweep.
San Francisco is trying to keep pace in the NL West, and they are going to be in for a tough battle all season. The Giants have gone 3-5, and they need to get things turned around in a big way.
The MLB lines for this game have the San Francisco Giants as the moneyline betting favorites at -150.
Royals Must Do Some Hitting
Bench coach Paul Hoover has been in charge of the Royals this weekend, and the players have been finding a way to deliver some big hits under his leadership. After the most recent win, Hoover said, “Just the resilient group that we have in there and to come back and to compete and win, it’s a good feeling.”
The Royals are still hitting under .200 as a team, and that’s not going to allow them to win many games. Kansas City doesn’t have a ton of offensive talent and will have to grind out at-bats to win this game.
Kris Bubic will be on the mound for Kansas City and he was dominant in his first start. If Kansas City isn’t going to score runs, then it will need Bubic to shut down the Giants.
Giants Not Getting Many Outs
The MLB news surrounding the San Francisco Giants during the offseason was all about their pursuit of some high-level players. San Francisco was not able to land any of those top players, but the Giants should have been worried about fixing the pitching staff.
The Giants are coming into this game with an ERA of close to 4.50, and that’s just not going to get the job done. Anthony DeSclafani will be on the mound for San Francisco, and he was dominant at the first start of the season.
San Francisco is not going to be a team that scores a ton of runs and is going to have to find a way to shut down opponents. Joc Pederson has already blasted two home runs for the Giants, but this team needs more power.

Royals vs Giants Head-to-Head
Looking at previous matchups in a head-to-head series is important if you are going to do some MLB betting. The Royals and Giants don’t meet much since they aren’t in different leagues, so looking at results in this series is the only real help you can get.
Kansas City has won the first two games of this series, and that means that the Giants will be looking for revenge.
