'Modern Family' star Eric Stonestreet is a well-known Kansas City Royals fan - so it's hardly surprising he's made a bet with late night's Jimmy Kimmel regarding the World Series, which resumes on Friday night at Citi Field for Game 3.
Naturally, their bet has some pretty silly stakes, and prior to the Royals' Game 2 victory Stonestreet appeared on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' to show that yes, he's quite confident in K.C.'s chances:

Stonestreet's 'Modern Family' co-star Sofia Vergara, meanwhile, is also pulling for the Royals to win it all. On his Twitter page, Stonestreet posted a video message from Vergara to the entire team, in which she lists almost half the roster by name and wishes them luck in their battle with the New York Mets.
