MLB World Series 2014 KC Royals vs SF Giants predictions

The 2 underrated teams in the championship series advanced to the WS in different ways, KC dominated the series and they took the control of the games in the early part and with the great bullpen that they've for the O's has been impossible to win those games, the only game that  Baltimore put in difficulties KC's bullpen has been game 1 but they didn't capitalized it. The Giants beat the Cards 4-1, it has been a controversial series that saw the Cards blow everything that they could in the worst way possible, Giants starters played good in the series against STL with the exeption of Vogelsong that in my opinion should be replaced by Petit in WS who picthed great as long reliever in past 3 series.
The Royals enter in this series undefeated and with the home field advantage are my favorite team to win the Title, by the way the Giants postseason experience and their starting pitchers should give KC lot of problems. KC must find a lil bit more power than they shown in last series because against Giants pitching stuffs will be hard to make lot of good contacts so they'll need more extra base hits, they also need to be ahead at the end of the first 6 frames to let the amazing trio Herrera Davis and Holland to shut the door, also run hard and fast will be an huge factor for the Royals that will face a great Catcher on the plate but not so great behind it and maybe this will allow them to run wildely during the series. SF has an advantage at the plate with the big 3 Posey Sandoval and Pence coming up a great series against STL and they've a good bullpen to match the KC's one.

POSITIONS MATCHUPS

C: Posey over Perez
1B: Hosmer over Belt
2B: a surprising Panik over Infante
SS: Escobar over Crawford who can't hit
3B: Tie between Sandoval and Mustakas both great in all playoffs
LF: Gordon over Ishikawa
CF: an amazing Cain over Blanco
RF: Pence over Aoki
DH: Butler over a not healty Morse
SPs: i give Giants a lil bit advantage over the Royals
M and L RP: Petit lead the Giants in this category over the Royals
SU: Davis and Herrera over Affeldt and Romo
CL: Holland over Casilla

I think KC will win the title over SF 4-2 and Hosmer will be the MVP
