Sure it is. The Royals are a legitimate 85-90 win team and if they suddenly start believing in themselves, they could do more. Confidence can steal you 5+ wins.

But today you saw that claws that the Tigers do have. Sure, they're spinning they're wheels a bit right now, but bludgeoning the Blue Jays today, the darling of many a prognosticator, is something they're eminently capable of doing on any given day.

They've not been pushed for several years. If the Royals give them a rabbit to chase, the Tigers may just find another gear and go catch the thing. If the Royals win it, they'll be in for a dogfight, IMO.
