“And now we can say the outfield in heaven is covered. Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle and Duke Snider. Rest in peace Willie.” — Jimmy Durda, The Bronx

The Royals are in Oakland.

Kansas City’s Seth Lugo, already a 10-game winner, comes off a two-run, six-inning start against the potent Dodgers.

The Athletics, who will be playing in Sacratomato next season and in Vegas by 2028, will go with Mitch Spence.

The rookie has appeared in 17 games, made six starts and allowed four runs over 5 ²/₃ to the Twins in his latest.

Play $50 on the Royals.

Flashback!

The Nationals’ Patrick Corbin has pitched two good games all year.

We lost both times.

Corbin scattered three hits over five innings, Jesse Winker hit a two-run homer and the Nats beat the Hunchbacks, uh D’Backs 3-1.

The setback has us at -753 greenbacks.
