Analysis:
I can see the Royals getting to Jake Peavy. The Giants have played five straight overs and could also get to rusty rookie Yordano Ventura, who last pitched 11 days ago when he went 5 2/3 innings in a no-decision versus the Orioles in the ALCS.
Ventura left that game with a tight shoulder so he might not be fully healthy. Ventura is 6-7 at home with a 3.39 ERA compared to 8-3 with a 3.23 ERA on the road.
San Francisco is averaging six runs in its last four games. Having a DH is huge for the Giants because it allows them to get Michael Morse's bat into the game.
Peavy hasn't been a good postseason pitcher going 1-3 with a 7.03 ERA in seven playoff starts. The 33-year-old is far from his prime. The Royals led the majors in steals and should be able to run effectively on Peavy.
The Royals have done well versus Peavy. The right-hander is 5-7 with a 4.97 ERA in 14 career starts against Kansas City. Billy Butler, Alcides Escobar and Alex Gordon are a combined 33 for 83 (.397) against Peavy with six home runs.
The weather is fine with just a slight cross wind and scheduled home plate umpire Eric Cooper has shown no over/under bias. His games were split right down the middle with half going over the other half going under.
