Robbie Ray is locked in – 6-0, 3.04 ERA, 3-0 in May. Royals lineup? Just 7-for-58 vs Ray all-time. Giants torching lefties lately – 145 wRC+, .888 OPS last 10 days. Bubic’s hot but 0-1 vs SF, and the Giants already tagged him in past matchups. Ray owns this duel. Giants offense rolling – 4.76 runs/game (10th in MLB). Wilmer leads MLB in RBIs (42), Ramos red-hot – .293 AVG, 8 HR. Royals? 29th in runs, just 3.34/game. Vs LHP? Brutal – 73 wRC+, .637 OPS last 10 days. SF’s power surge meets KC's cold bats = mismatch. Giants bullpen untouchable – MLB-best 2.59 ERA, just 2.15 over last 3 games. Royals pen leaking oil – 4.91 ERA last 10 days. SF 16-7 at home, KC 9-13 on the road. Giants also swept last series vs Royals. Momentum, matchup, and venue all scream SF.

Bubic still has a 14.8% swinging-strike rate even as the sample has expanded to 9 starts. That makes me think his strikeout rate is more likely to increase than decrease. Good matchup tonight, too, so I have Allen projected at 6.99 strikeouts. It's possible I'm too high, but I do think the market is too low.
