It’s fair if you’re having a sense of déjà vu with the Kansas City Royals this season, because they have started in a similar manner as they did last season. Both teams started 2-4, winning one game in each series. Both teams suffered some close and frustrating losses; the 2024 Royals had two walk-off losses in their second series of the season, while the 2025 Royals only had one. Progress! Also, Maikel Garcia is back to his early season 2024 form, which definitely bodes well for the rest of the year.
Like last season, the Royals played their first series at home, then their second series on the road before returning to the K for a seven-game homestand.
