Cleveland (89-69) is on top and has already clinched the division, ensuring its place in the playoffs. A very good home (43-34) and away (46-35) record has kept them away and safe from other teams. With only four games remaining in the regular season, the Guardians would like to end it with a series win against the Royals. The home team are enjoying a great 8-2 run in their last 10 games at the moment.
Kansas City gave away their fourth position to the Detroit Tigers, who are currently on a winning spree. The Royals currently sit last in the AL Central and will be on the lookout for some wins before the season ends. After losing Game 1 to the Guardians, the team managed to make a comeback in style in Game 2. Fans will be expecting them to win more games or even win the series.
Things are not as easy as they sound. Guardians at home are formidable opponents and for a team such as the Royals to beat them is tough. However, fans are still hoping for something to turn around in their favor. If Kansas wins Game 3, then we can expect a fun series going forward.
