"That's the one thing I'm really intrigued about," Gubicza said, "to see how their young pitchers perform in the World Series."
Still, Gubicza sees the Royals prevailing in five games.
"I just don't know if they have enough offense to sustain chances to win more than one or two games against the Royals," said Gubicza, who recently finished his ninth season as a color commentator for Angels broadcasts on FOX Sports West. "The Royals' offense, one through nine, is pretty dynamic, deep, does a lot of different things to score runs."
Gubicza also thinks the Royals' bullpen holds an edge, even though closer Greg Holland is unavailable and even though Mets closer Jeurys Familia has excelled.
