Matchup Insight | ATS MLB Preview

Kansas City

The Royals recovered nicely from their lone loss in the playoffs and are now on a two game winning streak – halfway to the title. Last night they won the game 3-2 in typical Royals fashion getting a solid starting outing from Jeremy Guthrie before asking the bullpen to seal the deal, which they did, as they have done all playoffs long – not hits allowed over the final four innings of relief.

The three spot they put up was hardly a big cushion but these days anything will do.

To keep things going the Royals will be turning to Jason Vargas. The much travelled lefty has been very effective in the playoffs giving up just 3ER over two starts. Like Guthrie yesterday he is the perfect type to try and get through 5 or 6 innings before turning it over to the bullpen. Even though the Royals play in a pitcher’s park Vargas was much more effective on the road this season.

San Francisco

In game three the Giants saw what the Angels and Royals did over the course of two straight series sweeps by the Royals – bullpen performance unlike any I can recall. On Friday night they did not get a bad outing from Tim Hudson but they just couldn’t touch that pen and know that they will have to get to Jason Vargas early and often the way they got to Shields in the series opener. The Giants now find themselves down for the first time in the series and need a response.

Rather than take a risk and come back with Madison Bumgarner the Giants will be going with Ryan Vogelsong for game 4. Two years ago Vogelsong was brilliant in the playoffs as the Giants won the Series but this year he has been hit or miss and didn’t even make it out of the 4th inning in his last start against St. Louis. He is a better pitcher at home though so maybe they have more confidence than they should
