As for the Giants, very likable players; excellent manager; MVP-caliber catcher; some shakiness in the bullpen; starters expect themselves to do well; rotation led by a great soft-tossing lefty ace. Athletic outfielders, but not as good as the Royals on defense. They have a surprisingly agile third baseman who is a fan favorite because of his incredible ability to hit balls anywhere in the vicinity of the home plate area.
The Royals swept them in August in KC, including a complete-game shutout by James Shields. We also beat their ace that series.
If I weren't a KC sports fan who expected to be disappointed, I would give the Royals the edge in this series.
Earlier this season, the Giants were playing the best baseball in the Majors. But that was months ago. The Royals are playing the best right now.
Still, in my core I am a KC sports fan. I wasn't all that surprised when we blew that 28-point lead to the Colts in the playoffs.
