Tonight may be game two of the World Series but these are the real aces pitching tonight. The Royals held Johnny Cueto back because he's FAR better at home and by pitching game two he'll be open for game six which is also at home. The Mets held back Jacob deGrom for three reasons I believe, one he is now fully rested, two he now faces off against the Royals ace and three BECAUSE THEY CAN!!!
