Since the Royals have never been in the playoffs in my lifetime, I'm not really sure how teams set up their pitching staff when in the playoffs. Do they go 3-man or 4-man? If it's 3-man, you have to have Shields in there, obviously, but after that, it's hard to say.
I'd go with Shields, Vargas, and Ventura as the starters, but only because Duffy has been injured recently. Duffy can bring the same thing as Ventura could out of the pen. Go to Guthrie if it's a blowout in your favor or if you're out of arms in a long game.
