The New York Mets will turn to Matt Harvey to extend the World Series after a blunder-filled ending to Game 4 has them down 3-1 to the Kansas City Royals. Harvey has been stellar at Citi Field with a 7-1 record and a 1.46 ERA in his past 13 starts as home.
- The Mets have never won a postseason series when down 3-1.
- The OVER has hit in every game in the series.
- Volquez is 0-3 with a 5.66 ERA in his career at Citi Field.
Daniel Murphy’s eighth inning error on a grounder from Eric Hosmer led to a three-run inning for the Royals, which ultimately gave them the win 5-3 on Saturday. Then in the ninth, with two runners on base, Yoenis Cespesdes found himself too far off first and was doubled up off a lineout to third to end the game.
If we have learned one thing about these Royals, it is to never count them out. Kansas City has scored 44 runs in the seventh inning or later this postseason, which shatters the previous record of 36 by the 2002 Angels.
Edinson Volquez will get the start for the Royals only days after his father passed away. Volquez, who was not informed of his father’s passing prior to Game 1 so he could focus on pitching at the request of his family, has struggled on the road during the postseason. In three career postseason starts, two of which have been this postseason, Volquez is 0-3 with a 8.76 ERA.
