David Price has had little success in the postseason with an 0-6 record and 5.23 ERA as a starter. Price gave up eight runs and 11 hits in 10 innings against Texas in the ALDS. Price allowed five earned runs on 18 hits in 15 1/3 innings against the Royals this season. Yordano Ventura is making his seventh career playoff start. He allowed six runs in seven innings against the Astros in the ALDS and was let off the hook when the Royals rallied to win 9-6 in game four. However, Ventura is a respectable 7-5 with a 3.84 ERA at home this season. Kansas City has won five ALCS games in a row dating to last year and the Royals are 6-1 their last seven games against left-handed starters and 9-2 their last 11 games overall. The Royals have also won 10 of Ventura's last 13 starts. All signs point to KC in this one. Take the Royals.
