The KC Royals have won six of their last seven. Does that signify anything other than an outlier in a lost season or something resembling a turnaround?
Anybody who can tell me with a straight face that they expected the KC Royals to host the Baltimore Orioles—one of the American League’s best teams and a legitimate contender, by hook or by crook, for the pennant—and emerge as the victor in three tightly-contested contests has an extremely good poker face.
But after sweeping the Orioles and taking three of four from the Rays (not quite as big an accomplishment, tbh), is it time to take another look at the Royals?
