KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Interstat) — The San Diego Padres and Kansas City Royals conclude a three-game series Sunday afternoon at Kauffman Stadium, where temperatures are expected to reach 91 degrees under clear skies.

First pitch is set for 2:10 p.m. EDT.

San Diego (48-50) has lost the first two games of the set, falling 6-1 on Saturday and 7-6 in 10 innings on Friday. The Padres will send either right-hander Germán Márquez (4-2) or left-hander Noah Cameron (5-7) to the mound. Kansas City (40-59) has not announced a starter, though righty Randy Dobnak — who threw 4⅓ innings of one-run ball in Saturday’s win — is a candidate to start on short rest.

The Royals have won four of their last five, while the Padres have dropped three of four.

A key storyline is San Diego’s Fernando Tatis Jr., who homered in Saturday’s loss and has hit .333 (7-for-21) with two RBIs over his last six games. The Padres’ offense has struggled in the series, scoring a combined seven runs.

Kansas City’s Dobnak has been effective in his last two outings, allowing one earned run over 10 innings. The Royals’ lineup was led Saturday by Lane Thomas, who went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBIs.

The Interstat game simulator projects a 5-4 San Diego victory, but Kansas City enters as a -1.5-run favorite on the spread. The over/under is set at 10.

After Sunday, San Diego visits Atlanta for a four-game set, while Kansas City hosts San Francisco for three.
