Why am I so confident?
They trail by 3.5 games. With only 19 games left to play, that's a pretty formidable deficit to overcome, particularly in a three-team race.
But KC has schedule on its side. 12 of its 19 games are against the woeful Indians and Tigers, terrible teams that the Royals should and have killed. The remaining 7? Vs. Chicago. If they can ratchet up their game a notch and take 4 or 5 of the games against the ChiSox, and whoop Cleveland and Detroit like they should, they'll win.
