Kansas City Royals

About the Kansas City Royals

The Kansas City Royals are a Major League Baseball franchise based in Kansas City, competing in the American League Central. They share the division with four rivals and play a 162-game regular season from late March through early October, with the top finisher in each division and the three best remaining records in the American League advancing to the postseason via the Wild Card.

Home games are played at Kauffman Stadium, where the five-year rolling park factor sits at 0.99 — effectively neutral. The venue neither meaningfully helps nor hurts either side of the ball, so national league-average expectations apply. Our win-probability and over/under models apply this factor directly when the KC host a series, which is why home and away projections for the same two clubs can look noticeably different.
