What to know before heading to The K for Opening Day

The Cleveland Guardians, managed by Stephen Vogt, visit the Kansas City Royals for an Opening Day clash between these American League Central rivals on Thursday afternoon.
Both the Guardians and Royals were surprise playoff teams last season, with the Guardians winning the AL Central and the Royals earning a wild card berth after a significant rebuild.
Tanner Bibee will start for Cleveland and Cole Ragans for Kansas City, marking their first Opening Day starts.
New Guardians manager Stephen Vogt stated this winter, "Our goal is going to be the same: Win the World Series."
After both teams made the playoffs last season, the Guardians, who have the longest title drought in baseball since 1948, and the Royals will each look to begin marching back to the playoffs, with both teams seeking to improve their lineups and address questions about repeating their previous success.
