The Kansas City Royals have swept their way through the postseason after earning an American League wild-card spot, knocking off the two top teams in the AL in their first playoff berth since 1985. The San Francisco Giants are reading from a familiar script. As the second National League wild-card team, they were underdogs again in the postseason, rattling of a series of wins that proved the pundits wrong one more time. Just like during their 2010 and 2012 World Series runs.
