Ah, welcome back ladies and gent, to another round of baseball game analysis and prognostication. Today we have the Kansas City Royals going up against the Milwaukee Brewers at the American Family Field in Milwaukee, WI.
Let's dig into this matchup with our favorite arms on the mound for each side. Kris Bubic will be hurling pitches for the Royals, carrying an exciting track record from the last season. Man had quite an unforgettable stint with an impressive 2.893 ERA and an even-more-impressive 12.5 K/9 stat from his 27 appearances, though he was slightly lumped in the playoffs. For the Brewers, we've got Elvin Rodriguez. Much of a great unknown, Rodriguez's season stats remain a mystery, adding a pinch of anticipation to the game.
Navigating over to the players we can't shut up about, we have Maikel Garcia and Vinnie Pasquantino leading the charge for the Royals, both sporting a thrilling start to the season. Our main man, Salvador Perez is off to a slightly slower start, but watch for him picking up the pace. Brewers' side showcases roster of potential stars with special shoutouts to Eric Haase and Isaac Collins due to their impressive .500 batting averages, while Vinny Capra and Brice Turang are also putting in upfront performances.
Digging back into the history vaults, these two have had some lively encounters in the past with almost equal shares of wins, each snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. Although recent records show some contrasting forms with the Royals at a 1-2 standing, while Brewers have failed to register a win so far.
However, ladies and gentlemen, if the past was an indicator of the future, casinos would be broke. The field in Milwaukee tends to be a batter-friendly, and the Royals seem up for the task with their starting lineup. It will be exciting to see how it all plays out in this closely contested game.
So, without further delay, here's how I see this game:
