We are going against the public in this one and backing the KC Royals.

Monday night- Zack Greinke is expected to get the start for Kansas City in Game 1 of this set. He pitched 4 1/3 innings against the Marlins on Tuesday, allowing four hits and five runs to take a loss. He had been pitching well before this setback, and I expect him to deliver a nice performance at home against the Reds. Reds Luke Weaver has been one of the most inconsistent pitchers in baseball. Weaver has allowed 12 home runs in nine starts, which is tied for fifth most among all qualified pitchers. Take the Royals to get Game 1 at home here on Monday night behind a veteran and very good Zack Greinke on the mound.
