T.M. Selection: Royals (UNDERDOG BEST OF BEST)

Michael Wacha is 2-4 with a 5.15 ERA for the Royals, but I think he'll settle down here and match his counterpart Logan Gilbert inning for inning. Gilbert is 3-1 with a 2.94 ERA. The Royals have been alternating wins/losses over their last five games and off last night's series opening 6-2 loss, I anticipate this pattern to continue. Look for KC to bounce back and to steal this Game 2, as we go contrarian here and take advantage of the overreaction.

T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Kansas City.
