This is a great time of the year and this match up is as close to a coin flip as any.

It really boils down to this....

1. Will the young guns for the Mets allow the big stage to affect them? This is the million dollar question so that still remains to be seen.

2. Can you trust the likes of Cueto and Volquez? Well they helped get em to where they are now. (Hard to Believe) lol

3. Experience will play or should play a factor. Royals have it. Mets don't BUT have veteran players on the Mets team. Advantage? Royals in my mind.

4. Tonight's match up, Hatvey has to have the edge here. Not sure why Volquez is getting the start.

5. Coaching, I give this edge to Mets.

6. Defense? Royals

7. Pen? Royals

8. Power? Mets


The ex factor for me is #1. To be honest we just really don't know how they will respond.

I took Mets in game 1 only because I think Harvey is in a good spot over Volquez.

Mets -110

Game 1
