Last year, NOBODY was taking the Royals against the Jays. The teams left in the playoffs are good enough to all win a series against everyone else. No one has such a dominant lineup this year that they're well insulated from being sent home.
Circumstances and good fortune can quickly neutralize a slightly better team and leave it basically a coin flip in baseball.
