Oakland Athletics vs Kansas City Royals Prediction: City Royals to avoid a sweep defeat

Thursday, MLB action between the Oakland Athletics and Kansas City Royals will take place at the Oakland Coliseum. This will be the finale of a three-game series. How will this game end?

Oakland Athletics will be confident of getting things right in this finale following a strong start to this series. In the opener, the A’s pulled off a 7-5 win, and in game 2, they pulled off a 4-game margin win. However, the Oakland Athletics struggled before this series, losing to the Toronto Blue Jays, San Diego Padres, and the Minnesota Twins. In the MLB this season, Oakland Athletics have a 28-48 record, positioning them 14th in the standings.

Kansas City Royals have failed to win any of their last series; in this one, they are about to be swept. In the prior series to this, the Kansas City Royals lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees. However, having suffered a defeat in the first two games of this series, this side now risks the possibility of a sweeping defeat. Yet, it is worth knowing that the Kansas City Royals have a 41-34 record this season from 75 games. The Kansas City Royals are seated 6th in the American League standings and 3rd in the American League Central Division. 

I am on the Kansas City Royals in this finale. The Kansas City Royals have been a decent team, and despite their poor start to this series, I believe they still have a lot to give in this one. However, the Oakland Athletics have been brilliant, too in this series, and I do not expect them to fail to score some runs.
