Lineups

A couple odd lineup choices here:

Royals: Ned Yost is stacking lefties Eric Hosmer and Mike Moustakas in the middle of the order, which makes it an easier LOOGY situation in the late innings.

Giants: Dave Cameron made the case that Juan Perez should be starting over Travis Ishikawa for defensive purposes, and he uses some Statcast data to underscore the Royals' ability to run on him.

Not odd:
