flavum Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 1 vs 2 in the AL. Nice to have a chalk ALCS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 My prediction is Toronto in 7. Leaving my house out of it though, because it could go either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmarComing25 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Toronto in 6, Royals have suspect pitching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Initially I had the Jays over the Astros in 6 so I'll stick with Jays in 6. I think the Jays offense matches up well against KC pitching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) The Royals already have something of a difficult decision. They can start Ventura on 3 day's rest, and they would be going back to back with that. On the other hand, he didn't pitch close to a full game in the (first) rain delay (in middle of the game) start. Volquez is the other option here. So it's an interesting decision. Cueto definitely won't go until game 3, and he's basically refusing to go on 3 days, so that means some combination of Volquez/Ventura in Games 1/2. http://espn.go.com/mlb/player/batvspitch/_...edinson-volquez .714 OPS against by the Blue Jays (active players), but only a .227 average. http://espn.go.com/mlb/player/batvspitch/_...yordano-ventura .693 OPS for Ventura against Toronto, .217 BAA. Game 1 starter would have to go on 3 day's rest on Tuesday (Game 4/October 20th) or they will have to start Medlen/Duffy/Guthrie/Chris Young instead. I'm not sure they can afford to do that if they're down 2-1 in the series. Finally, Cueto would be unavailable until a potentially-deciding Game 7, so the huge/pivotal Game 6 starter is a huge mystery as well for the Royals...

pettie4sox Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) Toronto has a lot of boppers. Both teams have suspect SP. They should activate Buehrle. Edited October 15, 2015 by pettie4sox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Toronto's hitting should overhelm the suspect KC pitching. Toronto's pitching should be able to handle the Royals as for the most part the Astros did. Blue Jays in 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Toronto bats figure to bash the Royals. If the Dodgers win they should maul the Cubs. Sorry KC fans, the best teams are going to prevail and Toronto is just a better hitting team than KC and KC's pitching has reeked pretty much. Cubs aren't ready for prime time. They are hot admittedly. Toronto-LAD World Series will have low ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxfan90 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 This is going to be a great series. Sucks for KC that they won't be back in the World Series, though. They're not going to beat the Jays in a 7 game series. Cubs vs Jays World Series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 (edited) If it's KC and the Cubs, SoxTalk will have a difficult time cheering for the Royals. Certainly cheering for StL against KC would be easier, but everyone's also sick and tired of the Cardinals at this point.
