A 7-6 record guarantees the Royals a WC spot and if the Twins go 10-4 or worse during their last 14, then the Royals get the 2nd wild card. Right now they are only 2 games back of the 1st WC spot and 3 games back from the AL central.

Catching the Indians will be easier than catching the Orioles because we own the tiebreaker. Plus it's the best outcome.

I've shifted my focus from the teams behind us to the teams ahead. I would love to not have to play a 3 game series on the road in the first round.
