The Royals have had some ups and downs this so far this season, but they have a chance to end the first half with an exclamation point with a successful series against the team just ahead of them in the Wild Card standings, the Boston Red Sox. The Red Sox were under .500 on May 30, but have won 23 of 35 since then and lead the Royals by one game for the final Wild Card spot.
