San Francisco GiantsvsKansas City Royals
SF 4/KC 5
The preview
This is a getaway day matinee between two teams going nowhere fast: the Giants at 42-59 visit the Royals at 42-60, so pride and roster auditions are basically the whole stakes here. Vegas has San Francisco as slight road favorites at -120 with the total sitting at 9, suggesting both bullpens are seen as a little shaky late.
Keep an eye on whichever starter can't get through six — with records like these, expect a manager to go to the pen too early and watch it backfire. Bold prediction: this one stays tight into the seventh before the Royals' bullpen coughs it up and the Giants grind out a one-run win.
