Two weeks ago I wrote an article, “The Royals are definitely going to the playoffs.” Since that time the Royals have gone 5-7...and their playoff odds have gone down only 0.4% per FanGraphs (if you’re looking for evidence that all this losing will become a problem, they were still up 3.1% before Friday night’s loss.) All three of the most commonly used sites have them well above 80% odds to make the playoffs from here. This is, more or less, what I meant when I said that the Royals were definitely going to the playoffs.
