- Royals
- 6–4 in their last 10 games; won 1 in a row
- Overall record stands at 52–54, holding 3rd place in the AL Central. 8.5 games back of Tigres; 4.0 games back in wildcard
- 26-27 at home
- Braves:
- 2–8 in their last 10 games, lost last 5 in a row
- 17 games back; 12 games back of wildcard
- In last 10, offense batting just .228, a pitching ERA of approximately 6.83, and being outscored by 26 runs during that span
- 18-34 away
- Spencer Strider is 4–8 with a 3.72 ERA and 89 strikeouts, facing veteran Rich Hill, whose lone appearance yielded a solid 1.80 ERA over 5 innings in his Royals debut at age 45
- Game Two likely features a bullpen-heavy approach for Atlanta as they navigate injuries and limited rotation depth. Kansas City counters with Seth Lugo, who has been steady with a 7–5 record and a 2.95 ERA through approximately 99 strikeouts in 2025
- Game Three currently lists Joey Wentz projected for Kansas City. Atlanta's starter hasn't been named yet, reflecting open rotational decisions or bullpen strategy late in the series
