The Royals are off to a 1-0 start as defending champs, having beat the Mets 4-3 last night, as well as raising their first World Series Championship banner in 30 years.
However, the Royals are now looking to add another banner to the Royals Hall of Fame, just like the 2015 one.
How can the Royals reach their third straight World Series appearance and repeat as champions?
Pitching and defense
Yes, the same tried and true recipe for these Royals during this successful run. James Shields changed the starting mentality during his two seasons here and while there was a little drop off last season the starters still did their job en route to the title.
