The Royals are still in it, although things look a bit bleak with only three weeks left in the season and the Royals missing Lorenzo Cain for this week of action. However, they face a week full of opponents with losing record, so if they’re going to make a move, this would be the week to do it.
The Boston Red Sox have surged into first place with a two game lead, leaving the Blue Jays and Orioles in the Wild Card race, although things can change greatly this week with the Eastern Division squaring off against each other.
