The Royals are not known for getting out to fast starts on their season. Last year they won seven and lost twelve in April after the lockout delayed the start of the season. Since the 2015 World Series win, they have been over .500 twice exiting April, in 2021 and in 2016. The other years they have been dreadful to open the season. Combining 2017, ‘18, ‘19, and ‘22 they went 30-69 for a .435 winning percentage. When you are on pace to lose 90 games by the end of the first month in two out of every three years, it is really hard to be optimistic heading into any given season.
The Royals early season schedule is tough...maybe
