2-0 in playoffs, which is helping take the edge off some football losses.
Royals ML -126. One unit. The Angels haven't had a meaningful game in so long, and look as if they are trying to restart their competitiveness. Combine that with some slumping bats in the lineup(which in large part is due to excellent KC pitching), and you once again have the new season that is the playoffs. I really like the Royals in this spot of little pressure after winning 3 games under a lot of pressure. They are home, with their ace, and as expected their bullpen is lights out. C J Wilson is a declining pitcher, I think. Even though he had many quality starts in the 2nd half, he was a much less effective pitcher on the road, and got lit up a few seasons ago in the playoffs while pitching for Texas. The Royals will make him work and unnerve him on the base paths. Shields might also give up some runs, but I think he'll improve on his last outing, and both teams will rely on 3-4 innings from their bullpens. As in most years there are 1 or 2 destiny teams in baseball once the playoffs start and this year, KC looks like one of them.
