It’s too early to talk about magic numbers, but there is a numeral that should interest Royals fans.
83.
That is the number of games that the Angels are on pace to win this season. It’s an important to note because they are currently in possession of the second wild-card spot in the American League.
Will 83 wins get a team into the playoffs? That seems unlikely, but there is no denying that wild-card race is a jumble with seven weeks to play in the regular season.
There are nine teams within 4 games of a wild-card spot in the American League.
