The Kansas City Royals will take on the San Francisco Giants this afternoon in the finale of a rematch of the 2014 World Series. Offense has been difficult to come by in this series as the teams split the first two matchups while combining to score nine total runs.
Daniel Lynch IV will “start” for Kansas City. I say “start” because this is likely more of an opener situation for a bullpen game. Lynch has not completed four innings since last June and has maxed out at ten batters faced this season. If all goes well, he could get one time through the order and change before giving way to the rest of the relief corps.
