  3. Starting pitching continues to be absolutely disastrous. I bet we’d have another 10-15 wins under the belt if we didn’t have pitching with the inconsistency of a Little Caesar’s.

  5. The Royals have won 1 game when they are trailing after the first inning. They’re 5-7 when they lead after the first inning

    Royals have more wins in games where they trail after 7 than games where they trail after 1
