The Royals are going back to the World Series, the Toronto Blue Jays are packing for winter and Ned Yost can feel safe eating a meal on The Plaza.

That makes this year’s return to the Fall Classic so much sweeter. The betting odds vary, depending on the sportsbook.
“My favorite player is Moustakas”. Opening odds on the Series were dead even at the Wynn Las Vegas. The Mets await the victor in the World Series after sweeping the Cubs.
New York entered the 2015 season having not reached the playoffs in nine years. They will enter Game 1 as an emergent standard bearer.
Few teams in baseball, especially not the Royals, can match up with the Mets starting rotation. Bret Saberhagen, David Cone and Carlos Beltran are stars who played for both teams….
It could be Harvey that gets the start in the series opener because of deGrom’s heavy workload in the postseason. To do so, they must figure out a way to score enough runs against Matt Harvey, Jacob deGrom and Noah Syndergaard, something neither the Dodgers nor Cubs were able to do during the National League playoffs. The 30-year-old, seven-year-veteran hit 14 home runs in exactly 499 at-bats this season.
Royals pitching coach Dave Eiland has already started watching video in an effort to get Murphy and the rest of the Mets out, but he knows his pitchers have a tall task ahead of them.
Alex Rios made it 3-1 for Kansas City with a run-scoring single in the seventh. The first three pennants won by expansion teams were won by the Mets in 1969 and “73 and the Royals in 1980”. All those guys throw upper 90s.
“It’s just been an fantastic season for them”.
“The story just keeps better and better”, Hosmer said.
CITY, Mo-The Kansas City Royals pulled off another come from behind victory, Eric Hosmer’s single in the eighth inning scored Lorenzo Cain from first base. They ranked 30th in baseball with 973 strikeouts, and the Atlanta Braves were next on the list, striking out 1,107 times.
It’s their ability to create runs and win the battle of the bullpens that’s gotten Kansas City to two consecutive World Series. As a season ticket holder who has had and still has season tickets with his dad, I knew that the 2011 season wasn’t going to be like of the season’s we saw from 1992 on. I just hope they don’t take the well-deserved seats of the true Mets fans. Hosmer had made a wide turn at first and Bautista’s throw was an attempt to hold Hosmer.
Over 6 2/3 innings, Price – who’s set to become a free agent – gave up three earned runs, five hits, and a walk while striking out eight. The AL Central was theirs to lose and rather than lose it, they actually ran away with it. Even with key players like James Shields and Billy Butler gone, the Royals continued on and even improved. Escobar hit. 478 with two doubles, a triple, five RBIs and six runs in the six-game series against the Blue Jays. A runner was on third with nobody out and runners were on second and third with one out, but he did not allow a run.
Big markets? Both teams from New York and one each from Chicago and Los Angeles. “At that point, it was about as bad as it could get: a man on third with no outs”.
The home run squandered a strong start by Yordano Ventura, who allowed only Bautista’s first homer of the series and three other harmless hits in 5 1-3 innings.
Game 5 was the opposite of Game 4, as Schilling shut down the Blue Jays and the Phillies only scored 2 (1 unearned) in a pitchers duel between Schilling and Juan Guzman. In their place are Hochevar, Kris Medlen, Franklin Morales and Ryan Madson, another reclamation project who was out of the game before Kansas City gave him one last chance.

The easy argument is the Royals are back because they’re the same team of a year ago.
