The New York Mets should coast to a victory tonight when they visit Kauffman Stadium to face the Kansas City Royals in Game 1 of a 3-game set. The Mets have been on a roll, winning 7 of their last 10, and are expected to have their ace, Noah Syndergaard, on the bump. Syndergaard has been delivering as usual, with a record of 8-5, a 3.89 ERA, and over his last 3, it gets better. He is 1-0, with an ERA of just 1.27 and a stingy 0.89 WHIP. Mike Montgomery is expected to get the nod for the Royals. There is a reason why the Cubs traded him to Kansas City back in July, because his numbers are not good. Montgomery is 2-5, with a 5.19 ER, and the Royals have mustered just 1 win in his last 5 starts. The Mets have won their last 5 interleague games and have dominated the AL Central, going 12-2 in their last 14. Alonso and company get it done.
