The Royals are currently in position for a playoff spot, but things have gotten tighter in the last few days after dropping two games to the charging Tigers. Kansas City has dropped three games in a row, with stranded baserunners being the major theme for the losses. Royals hitters have gone 6-for-32 with runners in scoring position over the last three games.
Despite the slump, they are still in good position to make the playoffs. The Royals have a three-game lead over the Tigers for a playoff spot with just ten games to play and the Twins also chasing them.
