The Royals have the second best odds to win the AL Central

I’ll believe it when I see it.

Need an outfield bat. Need a hitting/fielding wiz at 2B.
Still. Broken record….
Edit: Yankees aren’t going to win the East. Blue Jays will crush that division.
This is a win total projection – not betting odds to win the division. There is a difference.
I’ve seen us anywhere +220 – +250 to win the Central. But I’ve also seen both Cleveland and Detroit ahead of us. I think the betting markets are pretty tight on the top 3 – but I’ve never seen us first as I have the other two. Minnesota and ChiSox are solidly in the +3000 and over neighborhood.
Head to head in the division is going to be huge. Whoever truly dominate the cellar dwellars will have a big advantage in winning this thing.
I’m not falling for that again lol.
… Till they start playing
Even with our current holes, I believe they finish a lot better than 9th in the AL in wins. This is a better roster than the 5th place finish 2 years ago.
