The Royals had the worst offensive production in baseball by a fairly wide margin in September, not the way you want to be entering the playoffs as they begin their series with Baltimore. To make matters worse, they’ll have to go up against Corbin Burnes in Game 1, who has allowed just 1 run total over his past 3 starts. Kansas City has a strong pitcher toeing the rubber in Cole Ragans, although Baltimore did tag him for 7 earned in under 2 innings the 2nd time they saw him. The Orioles hit the 2nd most homers in baseball this season and scored the 4th most runs. This game comes down to offense, and Baltimore has a clear cut advantage, entering the playoffs after plating 22 in a sweep of the Twins to end the regular season. Take the Orioles.
