Kansas City Royals' Pitchers Boost Chances in AL

Kansas City Royals this year has a record of 65-55 and a high chance to win the third place of the American League Wild Card. However, the main reason why the team has eventually been so successful is the pitchers. According to Bleacher Report’s Kerry Miller, “when you put together a starting pitching rotation that includes Seth Lugo, Cole Ragans, Brady Singer, Michael Wacha, and mid-season acquisition Michael Lorenzen, you get the second-highest-rated rotation in baseball”. In that regard, Kansas City was one of the teams that managed to strengthen this position by acquiring skilled pitchers during the trade deadline. Therefore, the mountain of chance not only to get a wildcard but to possibly win the AL Central. With this result, Kansas City can pride itself on the best rivals in the state, leaving the St. Louis Cardinals far behind. The fact that the team has not been that successful ten years after winning the 2015 World Series can become a surprise to the audience, especially the fans.
