Los Angeles Dodgers v Kansas City Royals
Best-of-seven, Royals with the home-field advantage.
Always exciting to see a club in with a chance to earn their maiden title and this should be an engrossing contest between the two sides that have clearly been this year’s best.
As previously noted, KC will be without pitcher Joaquin Andujar and they have also lost 2B Frank White to forearm tendinitis. That gets squared up a bit by the absence of Dodgers OF Hal McRae, who is done for the season due to a broken tibia.
Sorry Royals fans, it’s the Dodgers in five for mine. Even with KC again having the home-field advantage, that pitching is just too good.
