The Royals will play the Orioles in Baltimore for the Wild Card series

The Royals are headed to the playoffs, but now they know where they are headed - Baltimore.

Kansas City clinched the #5 seed on Sunday by virtue of their win over the Braves while the Tigers lost their game to the White Sox. The Royals and Tigers finish with identical 86-76 records, but the Royals won the season series, and earn the tiebreaker.

The Wild Card series format will be a best-of-three series with all three games at the site of the higher-seeded team. So the Royals will not host any playoff games unless they advance past Baltimore to the American League Divisional Series.
