The Royals swept the White Sox for the 2nd time in as many weeks yesterday, officially ending their season series. Kansas City finished 12-1 against the South Siders, and the sweep improved their record to 60-49. If you’re doing the math at home, the Royals are 48-48 against the rest of the league.
Today, they start the final 1⁄3 of the season, a two-month stretch that features the 2nd toughest remaining schedule in baseball.
Toughest remaining schedule, per Tankathon (this includes the game vs Chicago from tonight still). Royals are going to have to earn their playoff spot.
