After the first two games of the 2014 World Series, San Francisco and Kansas City have each won once. Now, the series shifts to California for three games. The Giants took Game 1 decisively on Tuesday night, and they looked set to continue that momentum when Gregor Blanco led off Game 2 with a home run. But the Royals came back to win 7-2 Wednesday night and tie the series. With the drama fans have already witnessed this postseason, there is an excellent chance this World Series truly becomes a “Fall Classic“.

At AT&T Park, San Francisco was 45-36 during the regular season, and 4-1 in the postseason. Kansas City went 47-34 on the road during the regular season, and is undefeated away from Kauffman Stadium in October. A fun statistic for fans: the Royals’ last postseason loss outside Missouri came in Game 4 of the 1985 ALCS to the Blue Jays. Can they keep that streak going throughout the weekend?

The Giants are in their third World Series in the last five years; they celebrated the victories in 2010 & 2012 away from home, but have the opportunity to be crowned champions on home turf Sunday night. If Bruce Bochy’s players are going to do that, they’ll need to benefit from a big inning or two on offense (much like the 1st inning of Game 1), and reliable pitching. Kansas City has proven they can respond to adversity, by brushing off Tuesday’s loss to even the series. Many neutrals probably wouldn’t like the Royals’ chances had they lost on Wednesday to go down 0-2, but this series stays in the balance.

It was Game 3 of last year’s World Series that the Cardinals won after Will Middlebrooks was called for obstructing Allen Craig. St. Louis took a 2-1 series lead, but the Red Sox won the next three to win the title, including a pickoff to end Game 4. Both those games were at a National League park, and Games 3-5 this year will also be hosted by the NL champions. Is there a chance, however minuscule, that Friday’s or Saturday’s game is decided on a freak play?

No matter which team you’re rooting for, this weekend should be full of exciting baseball action, especially on Sunday night, should either club get a 3-1 lead going into Game 5. This is the Fall Classic, and the 2014 edition should turn out to be just that, a classic.
