The Royals should be able to hold off the BlueJays to maintain homefield advantage in the playoffs, though I do find myself checking Toronto's box score each day (Houston too).
32 games left for both team.
Royals have a 6 game lead.
I'm betting that the Royals win 19 games (or more) and lose 13 to finish the season, the Royals would be 99 & 63
The Jays would need to finish the season with 25 wins and 7 losses = 99 & 63.
The Jays are hot, but not sure they could finish that strong.
If the Royals struggled some in September and played 500 ball to finish the season... 96 wins and 66 loses....the Jays would need to win 22 games and lose 10 = 96 & 66.
Tie breaker would be heat-to-head, which Toronto leads 4 to 3.
I would be surprised to see the Royals limp down the stretch and let Toronto catch them.
As far as anything goes, if the Royals struggle down the stretch, losing homefield advantage will be the least of their problems with the playoffs looming.
GO STATE !
