Well, this is it. Thanks to the lockout forcing a late start to the season, the Guardians will be wrapping up their 2022 regular-season campaign with six-straight games against the Royals. If the Guardians can win at least half the games, they’ll finish with 90 wins for the first time since 2019. No matter what happens, they are going to play three games at home in the Wild Card game next weekend.
If this series mattered for anything, I would warn that the Royals — while generally pretty terrible — have enough of an offense that they could be sneaky annoying.
