A broken compass is right at least twice a day.
Arrr, me mateys! Avast ye! It be time for another scurvy battle on the diamond... Kansas City Royals be settin' sail to face the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday, August 23rd, 2023. These sorry sea dogs be holdin' a 40-88 overall record, with a pitiful 0.313 win percentage. (SportsBetting3.com)
Aye, the Royals be sinkin' fast, losin' eight out of their last ten games... They be strugglin' to find their treasure on the field. But fear not, me hearties, for the Athletics ain't fairin' much better. With a measly 36-90 overall record and a 0.286 win percentage, they be sinkin' even deeper into Davy Jones' locker. (bet on this game)
Now, I know ye be wonderin' if there be any hope for these two woeful crews... Well, avast ye, me mateys, for there be a glimmer of hope on the horizon. The Royals, though sailin' with a 2-8 record in their last ten games, did manage to snatch a victory from the Athletics in one of their previous encounters. So, if Lady Luck be smilin' upon them, they might just have a chance to plunder a win. (review the odds below)
So, me hearties, strap on yer eye patches and hoist the Jolly Roger high... The battle on the diamond be awaitin'. Will the Royals rise from the depths or will the Athletics send 'em down to Davy Jones' locker once more? Only the fates can tell... (SportsBetting3.com)
