In the last 8 playoff games (ALCS and WS), the Royals have been set as the underdogs. For whatever reason, the public and sharps have lined up against these guys and are getting their teeth kicked in. Now the Mets are all the way at -143 and are trotting another fastball pitcher out to face a Royals team that loves the heat.
I know, I know - the Mets just HAVE to win one eventually and there's no better time than tonight at home.
But I'll take my chances on the team that never dies and never strikes out. I think the Mets will give everything they've got tonight, but I just don't think they're the better team.
Value is with Royals tonight.
