The weather will be pretty cold in Cleveland for this series, so they\u2019ve already moved tomorrow\u2019s game up in time to be during the day. Max\u2019s got you covered with the series preview <a href=\"https:\/\/www.royalsreview.com\/kansas-city-royals-game-information\/96380\/guardians-series-preview-bundle-up\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Guardians enter the series leading the AL Central with a 6-4 record, with the Royals right behind at 4-5 (also tied with White Sox and Tigers). Their offense so far has basically just been Chase DeLauter and no one else. They\u2019ve made it this far on the backs of their normal crap &#8211; a bunch of dudes at starting pitcher I\u2019ve never heard of throwing average-ish or better ball. It\u2019s such a house of cards team (cue \u201che can\u2019t keep getting away with this\u201d gif).<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Having said that, Tanner Bibee gets the start for the Guardians today. I\u2019ve heard of him. He\u2019s thrown only nine innings across two starts so far &#8211; he gave up three homers in the first start against Seattle. He\u2019s mostly a fastball\/changeup guy, with variations. He throws a cutter, four seam, and sinker for the harder pitches, although at 86-87mph his cutter isn\u2019t really a fast pitch. It is the one he throws the most though.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Michael Wacha gets the start for the Royals. Wacha was originally going to pitch on Friday against the Brewers, but he was scratched due to illness and the game was postponed anyway. As a result, we\u2019ve seen Wacha only once so far this season, against the Braves. He threw six innings of shutout ball with seven strikeouts. I\u2019d take that again today.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The game starts at 5:10pm US Central time. You can watch the game on Royals.tv or listen on 96.5 The Fan\/Royals Radio Network. Or both! Both is good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After losing 2 of 3 against the Brewers, the Royals now take a short road trip to Cleveland&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":667129,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2387],"tags":[5,936,2123,55,77903,2596,2595,4,252],"class_list":{"0":"post-667128","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-kansas-city-royals","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-kansas","10":"tag-kansas-city","11":"tag-kansas-city-royals","12":"tag-kansas-city-royals-game-information","13":"tag-kansascity","14":"tag-kansascityroyals","15":"tag-mlb","16":"tag-royals"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116360011799447236","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/667128","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=667128"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/667128\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/667129"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=667128"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=667128"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=667128"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
