MLB Shockwave: Tigers Seize Top Spot as Dodgers Stumble and Mets Ignite a Fierce Comeback!
17. Kansas City Royals (31-29)
About the same. We knew this team would be pitching-centric and offensively limited, and that has been exactly the case. Kansas City ranks second in team ERA and fourth in pitching fWAR, but 30th in home runs and 27th in wRC+. These extreme strengths and weaknesses have amounted to a decent record, albeit one that still lags behind in the newly ultra-competitive AL Central. The arrival of top prospect Jac Caglianone should provide a sorely needed boost to the lineup, but expecting him to single-handedly transform the Royals’ offense feels like a stretch.
