2 significantly different teams here, the contrast in styles will make for a good series.

I like the Royals in 4. I know they pitched well tonight, but I don't trust the Astros bullpen to repeat that performance. And we know KC's pen is great.

I'm guessing Kazmir, not Fiers will start game 2, so since everything else is known,

Ventura vs. McHugh
Cueto vs Kazmir
Volquez vs Keuchel

Astros in 4. Royals struggled down the stretch. Think the 'Stros ride the momentum of the WC win.

Carlos Gomez's over the top, chicken **** bat flips and taunts against a team that throws at hitters at the rate that most people change their underwear.

This is going to be fun. Astros in 5.

Royals in 5.

Would pick Royals in 3 or 4 if Cueto wasn't out of sorts.

Castro doesn't have a good CS% and he's facing the fastest team. Also, Astros rely on the long ball, which Kauffman stadium is not good for. Only Yost can lose this series.
