The Guardians have held the Royals to four runs during the first two games of this series. Yet Cleveland is 0-2.

The Royals are far from a power. So they shouldn't be favored when Cleveland has a starting pitched edge, which they do here.

I'll take righty Cal Quantrill against Kris Bubic. Quantrill was 8-3 with a 2.89 and 1.18 WHIP last year. Bubic was 6-7 with a 4.43 ERA and 1.38 WHIP.

The Royals were 48-64 against right-handed starters last season.
