Kansas City Royals

Oakland Athletics

Match Preview

Is it fair to say that in the MLB regular season match between the Kansas City Royals and the Oakland Athletics, teams of comparable overall playing level will face each other? Definitely not. Previously, both sides were content with the status of perennial outsiders, but now the situations have drastically changed.

Kansas has been performing in waves towards the end of spring, which does not prevent them from staying in the leading group. Thanks to a well-conducted training camp, the team avoids prolonged downturns, without experiencing significant problems with the players' physical condition. The infirmary of Matt Quatraro's crew is practically empty, which in itself is a tremendous achievement given the grueling schedule. Moreover, the guys continue to act very organized in defense, ranking third from last in the league in terms of runs allowed.

On the contrary, Oakland has encountered colossal difficulties in all of the aforementioned aspects, which does not help to emerge from a prolonged crisis. The selection of players for the squad initially did not boast a large number of big names, but after numerous injuries, the situation worsened. Mark Kotsay's charges suffered six consecutive defeats, scoring only 10 runs. Only Abraham Toro occasionally stands out positively against the general backdrop, slightly improving the dismal statistics.
