Team Analysis
Kansas City Royals
The Royals’ 2-3 record across the last five games reflects a team searching for rhythm, but their 5.4 runs per game in that span shows the offense continues to produce. Bobby Witt Jr.’s balance of contact and power gives this lineup a reliable spark, while team-wide consistency keeps them competitive in tighter contests. Their road record sits just below .500, but their run creation makes them a dangerous side away from home.
Even when results have been uneven, Kansas City Royals’ ability to generate runs at a 6.1 average over their last 10 contests points to a lineup that rarely goes cold. Vinnie Pasquantino’s run production has been a steady anchor, while Salvador Perez provides the punch to change a game quickly. Against an Oakland staff carrying a higher season ERA, the Royals’ bats are positioned to dictate tempo despite recent narrow losses.

- OBP: 0.309
- SLG: 0.396

- ERA: 3.75
- WHIP: 1.24
Away Record: 37-42 • Home Record: 43-38
Last 5 Games: 2-3 (5.4 RPG)
Last 10 Games: 5-5 (6.1 RPG)
Oakland Athletics
The Athletics’ 3-2 record in their last five games suggests stability, but their 4.0 runs per outing in that stretch highlights inconsistent scoring. Tyler Soderstrom has been a key run driver, yet the lineup often struggles to string together big innings. Their 36-43 home record speaks to that playing in Oakland has not provided a significant edge.
Across their last 10 contests, Oakland has gone 6-4 but managed just 3.5 runs per game, a number that points directly to offensive limitations. Brent Rooker’s power is a threat, though the overall lineup lacks the depth to sustain rallies when facing sharper pitching. With Shea Langeliers contributing selectively, the Athletics’ offense remains streaky, leaving them vulnerable in lower-scoring contests.
- Batting Average: 0.254
- Total Runs Scored: 725
- Home Runs: 218
- OBP: 0.318
- SLG: 0.433

- ERA: 4.7
- WHIP: 1.36
Away Record: 40-41 • Home Record: 36-43
