I don't see how the Mets will get up for tonight's 5th series game after last night's embarrassing, mistake-filled loss. My first guess is that they'll lose 10-4. But maybe they'll rally around Harvey and bust their asses for the win. But the Royals won't do any less so we should have a competitive game.
RHP Edinson Volquez, 32 (13-9), 3.55 vs RHP Matt Harvey, 26, 13-8, 2.71. Rematch of game 1, won 5-4 by the Royals. In the post-season, Harvey is 2-1, 3.38; Volquez is 1-2, 4.37.
Harvey is the key to a Mets win. He will need to go at least 8 innings of lights out pitching. The Royals have a way of getting to the bullpen in late innings.
