After butting heads in the 2015 World Series, the Kansas City Royals and
New York Mets will meet again Sunday night (8:30 PM ET, ESPN) in the
2016 season-opener for both teams. Kansas City beat the Mets in five
games to win the Fall Classic for the first time since 1985. This year,
New York (+1200) is a step above the Royals (+1400) on the World Series
futures market.
Oddsmakers have the Mets and Matt Harvey as a -110 moneyline favorite while the total is sitting at 7.5.

Edinson Volquez will be the Opening Day pitcher for the home side.
Volquez enjoyed something of a renaissance in Kansas City, posting a
3.82 FIP and topping the 200-inning mark for the first time, but he's
still not as dominant as he was during his 2008 rookie campaign with the
Cincinnati Reds.
New York will respond with Matt Harvey (3.05 FIP), who was brilliant
last year in his return from Tommy John surgery. However, Harvey's
brilliance only translated to a 17-12 team record and 1.27 betting units
in profit during the regular season, and the Mets' bullpen coughed up
both of Harvey's starts during the World Series. Volquez, who dueled
with Harvey in both games, was good for 9.43 units last year on a team
record of 22-11.
