World Series 2015: Odds and Prop Bets Info for Royals vs. Mets Game 3

The New York Mets are in a 2-0 deficit against the Kansas City Royals in the World Series. The Royals haven't lost at home in this type of situation since the Houston Astros won Game 1 of the American League Division Series in 2014.

Johnny Cueto is leading the list of potential MVP candidates. If Kansas City wins before Game 6, Cueta would only get one start.

Johnny Cueto is the first pitcher since Roger Clemens in 2000 to have two starts of at least eight innings pitched and two hits or fewer allowed. He was outstanding in his one start in the World Series. The Mets will have a chance to get back in this series with Noah Syndergaard opposing Chris Young in Game 3.

Johnny Cueto is the first pitcher to throw CG allowing 2 hits or fewer in World Series since Greg Maddux, 1995 Braves.

The National League venue has been bad for American League teams in recent World Series. The Royals won't have the same lineup depth because Kendrys Morales will be relegated to pinch-hit duty. Matt Harvey and Jacob deGrom have combined for four strikeouts in 11 innings this World series. The high contact rate has changed the game plan for the Mets starters. They are afraid to challenge the Royals with their fastball. Their pitchers are more likely to throw breaking balls.

Syndergaard will be fifth-youngest to start a World Series game since 1995. Bumgarner, Jaret Wright, Wacha, Livan Hernandez, all won.

The Mets are down 2-0 in the World Series against the Royals. The Mets had 15 hitters reach in Game 1 via hits, walks and errors, but they only scored four runs. In the first game, the Mets only had one extra-base hit, Curtis Granderson's home run. By contrast, Royals had 11 hits in that included four extra bases. Yoenis Cespedes has one hit in his last 12 at-bats. David Wright has just two extra base hits this postseason and no homers.

Royals are 1 for 20 vs 95 mph+ pitches in World Series, 19 for 62 vs pitches less than 95mph.
