AL Wild Card: Shields Versus Lester

Isn't this an interesting matchup of starting pitchers! James Shields for the KC Royals. Jon Lester for the Oakland A's. Shields & Lester could be the #1 & #2 starters for the Boston Red Sox next year if a few things go right in the off-season. No doubt this game will come down to the bullpens & KC seems to have an edge there. The A's want to go further in the playoffs this year than just their usual one series & out. And the Royals are back in the playoffs for the first time in 29 years. If you had to pick one team, I guess I would root for the Royals as an underdog.
