The Royals need better from the starting pitching. Shields hasn't pitched well in the postseason yet, and Ventura was very shaky in Baltimore (although he was a beast in Anaheim for ALDS Game 2). Guthrie's probably been our best starter, and Vargas survived 2 outings.
In an ideal world, we'd have Duffy clicking (in which case I'd say we'd win the series fairly definitively), but that's not the case.
