Not since the heady days of Michel de Nostradame has so much been forsworn to truth. Or at least a good day of trying to figure out how the rest of the year is going to go.
The Royals lead the American League Central and have the second-best run differential in the league. Ho hum. The American League West has tightened up: Houston has lost six in a row, and Texas is 2-8 in their last ten, letting the Angels ride a 7-3 stretch to take over first. 6.5 games separates first and last place in the American League East, so it is anybody's race.
