Preview/Prediction

Already this October, we have laid out our big board of the top 25 free agents set to hit the market this offseason, broken things down to the top five free agents at each position, looked at a potential fix for each team's biggest weakne

It's been a long time coming for the New York Mets and Kansas City Royals, but one of the two will end a treacherous title drought in the 2015 World Series.

The Royals came suffocatingly close to doing just that this time last year, when they took the San Francisco Giants the distance in a seven-game championship series. While they haven't won the title since 1985, the Mets won it in 1986 and haven't been back to the promised land since.

One of these teams is four wins away from winning a World Series for the first time since the Reagan administration.

The New York Mets, behind their young stud pitchers and the magician David Murphy, will be in Kansas City on Tuesday night to take on a Kansas City Royals team that looks to avenge last year's heartbreaking seven-game loss in the Fall Classic to the San Francisco Giants.

Blue is the color in baseball this postseason. The final four teams remaining all have blue as their primary team color. The Chicago Cubs and Toronto Blue Jays fell by the wayside, leaving two survivors.

The New York Mets will represent the National League against the American League's Kansas City Royals in what could be an epic World Series.

Either way, a long championship drought is going to end in the 2015 World Series with the New York Mets and Kansas City Royals both looking to break through as the top club in baseball.

One way or another, the 2015 World Series is going to result in a party three decades in the making.

On one side is the New York Mets, who are looking to win the Fall Classic for the first time since 1986. On the other side is the Kansas City Royals, who are looking to win it all for the first time since the franchise's first and only title in 1985.

Want to get up to speed on the matchup and be told very specifically how it'll all shake out?

Well, you've come to the right place.

Turns out Marty McFly didn't need to go anywhere to predict the 2015 World Series matchup.

Back in 1985, the Kansas City Royals won their last World Series title, but nobody needed an almanac to realize the New York Mets were close. A year after winning 98 games, they captured their franchise's second championship in 1986.

The World Series matchup is officially set, as the Kansas City Royals pulled out a 4-3 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday night to repeat as American League champions.

They will meet the New York Mets, who took care of the Chicago Cubs in four games and will be playing in the Fall Classic for the first time since 2000.

Fingers will be pointed in all directions now that Toronto fell short in its quest for World Series glory, losing the American League Championship Series to Kansas City in six games.

The Toronto Blue Jays will try to push the ALCS to a Game 7 when they are away to the Kansas City Royals on Friday night. Toronto pitcher David Price will be looking to silence critics and doubters not long after the scheduled 8:07 p.m. ET start time.
