The Royals have been playing a more exciting brand of baseball, more importantly, scoring runs and winning games as of late. The Royals have won 8 of their last 11 and are averaging 6.2 runs per game over that time.
A big reason for the boost in offense is the team has begun to hit. They’re hitting .294/.344/.495 with 16 home runs in 11 games over that time, a nice hot spurt of offense that may or may not be sustainable going forward. The team is hitting more home runs overall - they are averaging 0.94 home runs-per-game, the tenth best home run season in club history, and better than the 2015 team.
