Astros had their chance to finish the royals and they choked. Royals responded like a world series caliber team does, scoring 7 runs in 2 clutch innings to seal the win. Astros are a bunch of rooks, already celebrating on the sidelines when they were up 6-2.
Cueto played terrible last outing and still only allowed like 4 runs I think. Royals scored 5 in that game but lets be honest they should have score about 8 or 9. They left a ton of guys on base and it just felt like every inning Royals were going to bust out. Scary thing about the Royals is everyone in their lineup can hit. 1-9. There's no one that's an easy out. I can't say that about the Astros. Also between Zobreist, Cain, Hosmer, Perez, Moustakes, Gordon....you have 6 perennial all stars right there. That's insane. WHat's even crazier is that they're all great defensively. Then you add escobar at shortstop, and the power hitting of Morales and Rios. There's literally no weakness in this team from a batting perspective. They're all so patient and they strike fear into any pitcher. They are so much better than last year when they faced the Giants. Moustakes is like a completely different player and the additions have made them a far superior team.
They started this series kind of cold but now are picking it up and I feel they will carry this momentum into the world series and will eventually win it all. I just don't see anyone that can match their combination of power, base running, baseball iq, and defense.
Cueto is still good don't forget. He's had a rough year but he's a star and he can turn it around at any moment. With Herrera and Wade Davis in the bullpen, if you don't have a lead going into the 7th, you're 100% done. I saw a stat that Royals are like 150-4 when leading after 7 innings. Nuts.
Royals are cold blooded and they won't lose to the astros at home in an elimination game. They've lost 1 elimination game in the past 10...to Bumgarner. This will be an easy win in my opinion. Something like 8-2 royals.
I'm putting at least 500 on the royals ml and probably 200 on royal -1.5 and 50 on royals -3.5. i want to put more but bases is just not my specialty.
