The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Saturday as neither team is afraid to steal. Ross has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 2.8 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Kings struggles in that department as they've been averaging 3.1 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Ross beat Kings 7-3 in their previous meeting back in March of 2018. Do the Rams have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Knights turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
