This puts the Royals in position to repeat their early season recipe for success: hold on until the late innings, and one of the best bullpens in baseball combines with solid hitting to bring home more wins than expected. OAK: 2 SWEEP the struggling As STL: 1 AZ: 2 CHC: 2 SDP: 2 Royals are enjoying California this year COL: 1 CWS: 2 DET: 1 13-11 (43-48) (things could break better or worse than this depending on how the starters hold up. Worst case, 10 wins, best case, 16) That last series is going to be the key. If they do play well before then, they know they'll need that series to close the gap. If they can manage to get the best of Detroit, then they'll be in the race. If not, the deflation of losing, carrying over the break could sound the end of the race.

Pitching is inconsistent, but the line-up is solid, top six hitters productive and with power, Treanor and Getz good OBP and situational, Esky heating up. The defense is good,Moose being the weak link at the moment. If starters can deliver at least half quality starts, the team can go on a tear. 43-48 looks good.
