Today will mark the start of the World Series as the New York Mets lead by Harvey will visit Kansas City, a well prepared Mets will not make things easier for the team.
For its part, the Royals, who won in their Division Championship and the American League, they arrive for the second consecutive year with the intention of winning the crown, after last year they were only inches away from the coveted title, but in actuality gave most of the seven games against the San Francisco Giants, not to be confused with a lack of talent or preparation but a lack of experience.
The Royals want to enjoy the sweetness of a coronation for the first time since they did in 1985 when they beat the St. Louis Cardinals in seven games also. The Kansas City squad put the cherry on the cake last Friday after defeating the powerful Blue Jays 4-3, who had a frightening offensive led by the trio composed by Josh Donaldson, Dominicans Johan Santana and Edwin Encarnacion.
This trio in combination contributed to the Canadian team during the regular season some 120 homers and 348 RBIs. The Royals also dispatched in the Division Series the aggressive Houston Astros in a maximum five games with 3-2, but had already got the ticket to the playoffs with a wide lead in the Central Division.
The players run by Ned Yost have a seal in speed in the run for bases, defense and an excellent bullpen, which gives the team a lot of confidence this year to finally raise the elusive trophy they could not win last year.
Kansas City added key pieces this season as veteran and versatile player Ben Zobrist, the pitcher Cueto and the designated hitter Kendrys Morales joins the ranks of the Royals. The Mets and Royals have met only nine times since interleague play began in 1997 with the American League taking the advantage with 5-4. The New York Mets visit Kansas City for the first time since 2004.
