Part of it is Yadi. He is getting old and you will be able to run on him this weekend. But, his ability to call a game is still the best in the game.

How have the Giants traditionally done against Lynn? That's probably the best comparison for the Royals' offense. I see he only has two regular season starts against them in the past 3-4 years and two postseason starts. ERA in the 5s, but that's a small sample size.
The Royals will put the ball in play and force defenses to make outs. They won't strike out very often in a men-on situation. Makes it tougher to get out of jams...
