Scout breaks down the World Series matchup
The 111th World Series begins on Tuesday night at Kauffman Stadium.
It isn’t a match made in post-season heaven as the New York Mets and the Kansas City Royals have little history. Well, OK, tiny history. They have met three time during 19 years of inter-league series: Aug. 2-4, 2013, at Citi Field in Flushing, June 11-13, 2004 at Kauffman Stadium and in June 2002 at Shea Stadium.
Despite that fact, the Sun’s official post-season prognosticator, former scout Ken Bracey, is putting his 1-1 record on the line — after picking the Jays in both of their series — and going with the Royals, who just knocked off Toronto in six games.
“The team with the best position players is K.C.,” said Bracey from Dunlap, Ill. “The team with the best pitching staff is the Mets.
“I pick the Royals because of their experience.”
The Royals lost in seven games to the San Francisco Giants in last year’s World Series.
