It will be the Royals vs the Mets in the 2015 World Series

It will be the 1985 World Series champion, Kansas City Royals vs the 1986 World champion New York Mets in the 2015 World Series. Each franchise will be seeking their first title since the one cited.

The Royals made the World Series last year, losing a heartbreaking series to Madison Bumgarner and the S.F. Giants. They won a second straight pennant beating the favored Toronto Blue Jays (4-3) in game six to win the ALCS four games to two.

While Bumgarner’s dominant pitching is not likely to be matched, the Royals have some good pitching while their opponents, the Mets, have received great pitching, thus far in the playoffs.

After losing their first three ALCS and four of their first five, the Royals have now won in their last three ALCS appearances.

The Blue Jays are now (2-4) in ALCS and (0-2) vs the Royals. The winner of the five previous Jays’ ALCS went on to win the World Series.

The Mets are now (5-3) in NLCS play, the winner of the previous 7 Mets’ NLCS going (4-3) in the World Series.

One real problem is that if the World Series goes as many as six games and stays on schedule, the sixth game will be played on Election Day. That is disgraceful, but typical of baseball hierarchy policy, which cares about money and little else.
