This is why I feel KC wins the crown.
After you get past Bumgarner, the rotation for the Royals is better.
Even though Giants have a very good bullpen, KC's pen is lights out after six innings.
KC plays pressure ball, put the ball in play, pressure the defense into errors with disruptive speed.
You can't defend speed, you have to keep them off the bases.
Even though they did not hit a lot of homeruns, KC's power has woken up, and they have three in the middle of the order that has hit 20 or more in a season with Gordon, Hosmer, and Butler.
KC has five gold glovers on defense, and you can make a case for seven.
Sal Perez is the best defensive catcher in the game not named Molina, Hosmer has won gold in 2013, Gordon has won gold in 2011,2012, and 2013. Lo-Cain will win gold this year......
I am not expecting a blow out, I got KC in seven, SF can win this if they get a lead early, take out the bullpen factor, SF can win this if they keep the jack-rabbits off the bases.
Yes, I am aware that SF has the better manager in Bochy, has two rings, and has more experience on the bench, Ned Yost has been to the playoffs 11 out of 12 years as a coach for those 1990's Bobby Cox Braves teams.
However, KC does have home field, and KC has nine impact players that can change the dynamics of a game and ultimately the series.
KC has more game changers than SF does.
Nobody is blowing anybody out, it goes six, probably seven.
KC 2* to win it all
