The Royals, coming off a series of pre-season games, are looking to continue their winning streak and showcase their strengths.
Analyzing the Royals' Recent Performance
The Royals have shown commendable performance in their recent outings. In their last three games, they've demonstrated a solid defense and an offense capable of delivering when it counts. Despite a batting average that might raise some eyebrows (.185 against the White Sox and .297 in a high-scoring game against the Dodgers), it's clear that when they get hits, they make them count—evidenced by scoring 11 runs on 11 hits in one of these matchups.
Their pitching staff has been notably effective as well. With an ERA standing at 1.0 against the Athletics and showing resilience by maintaining low earned runs even when under pressure from opposing teams' offenses. This balance between offense and defense will be crucial as they go up against the Brewers.

The spacious outfield and batter-friendly conditions at American Family Fields could play into the hands of both teams, making for an engaging contest filled with strategic plays and potentially high scores.
