Johnny Cueto will start Game 2 of the World Series for the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday.
The right-hander will get the start at home where he’s pitcher much better than on the road in the postseason. In his lone start at home, Cueto delivered eight innings of two-run ball with eight strikeouts for the clinching victory in the ALDS. When he made his only start on the road this postseason, he allowed eight runs on six hits and four walks over only two innings pitched.

"Johnny really feeds off the home crowd," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "We're able to have Johnny in Game 2 and Game 6 here at home, where we think that gives us a bit of advantage having Johnny pitching at home in front of our home crowd. They really, really give him a lot of energy. He's pitched his best games here."
Jacob deGrom will be on the mound for the New York Mets, which could make for a great pitching showdown.
