TOPO (The OP Opinion):
Both World Series participant teams had to take on overwhelming odds to make it to where they did. Both teams came chugging in underneath the big names by scraping up the wildcards.
The Royals easily powered through the ALDS and ALCS with sound defeats on the Angels and Orioles, the two American League game leaders. They put up a big fight through the World Series and impressed the baseball world, but in the end, they could never solve Madison Bumgarner.
The Giants have backup reserves of playoff experience. Their bullpen, Hunter Pence, and Madison Bumgarner were tough against any opposition. In my opinion, they had the stuff to get the World Series crown, and am not surprised that it ended this way.
Good game, San Francisco.
