I like our pitching matchups against pretty much everyone, but we've clearly been much, much better at home.
How do we finish the first half? Whimper? Bang? Somewhere in between? I'm calling my shot: we will win 8 of the last 11 before the break, getting us back into double digits above .500 and firmly in the conversation for a playoff spot.
How about you Royals fans? Whaddya got?

I'll be honest and say 6-5. That would be a great pace to stay on the rest of the season so it's not negative but I do think the road struggles are real. I will break it down like this:
Take 2 out of 3 from Tampa
Take 2 out of 3 from Colorado (honestly this is the series I worry about maybe the most. Don't want Ragans and CY Lugo being neutralized by that shitty atmosphere)
Split with the Cardinals
Lose 2 out of 3 to Boston.
Hit the AS break what, 9 games over .500? Sets up nicely to make a run.
