So, I realize it's been discussed ad nauseam on here, but Royals are 68-62.
Going 22-10 rest of way gets you to 90 wins and pretty much guarantees a playoff spot (likely Wild Card, as Cleveland would have to go 16-17 to finish with 89 wins and lose out on the division).
Going 21-11 gets you 89 wins and a solid chance at Wild Card.
20-12 gets you to 88 and on the fringe.
The Royals are probably the hottest team in baseball right now, but I still have serious doubts about them making the playoffs this year. I think July, unfortunately, did them in. The Royals have won 17 of the last 21 and obviously cannot continue to play at that kind of clip through September. So assuming there is a lull somewhere in September (last road trip versus Clev. and Detroit?), is it realistic to think they can get to 88-90 wins with a 'lull'.
Just curious what the brain trust of Royals CP thinks on this . . . .
