Royals vs Mets Recent Meetings



Prediction
I think K.C. is a very good underdog bet in the rubber match of this series. Both teams are having bad seasons, but the Royals have at least been hitting lately. They scored just two runs last night, but plated 31 in the previous two games. Wacha has a 2.22 ERA over his last three starts and goes deep into games. The Mets are just 4-15 this year when Manaea starts. New York shouldn’t be this big of a favorite.
Pick: Royals +127
