At this point, given their success the last five years or so, they’re just doing what the A’s and Rays do. Maybe it’s fishy… I don’t know. But that team is the 2015 Royals incarnate. With better SP. I promise you, the league wants none of Burnes, Woodruff, Peralta, Williams, and Hader in a playoff series. I think they win the NL. The Dodgers are the only team that should scare them, and they might have to play a WC game.
It’s likely - to me anyway - that they end up with the #2 spot in the NL and face the Braves in the NLDS. I bet $100 on them to win the WS outright in June at 22-1. That was and is a steal.
