Taking the ROYALS here. Look. Harvey is good. But he does have a history of giving up runs when he is too pumped up. I think the time off hurts the Mets a little. They were on a nice little ride. KC in back to back World Series'!! Just let that roll off the tongue again. This is going to be a fun series. But here, I think the KC bats will wear down the Dark Knight. As I said this post season. Mets can pitch. They have these hard throwing K machines. But the Royals make contact. Coupled with the time off, maybe a bit of nerves for the Mets, and KC should get Game 1 here. Too be honest, I think this line is screaming take the Royals. I mean, Harvey has clearly out-pitched Volquez for the season and his post-season starts. Yet, we are basically even money here. 4* Money Maker KANSAS CITY ROYALS
