As bad as the Royals have played over the last week, I still think they’re OK. All season long, when it seemed like the wheels were going to fall off, the Royals would put Lugo or Cole Ragans on the mound, get a great start, and stay on the road. That’s what they’ll do today in their final home game, with Lugo going up against the Giants, who themselves start Blake Snell. Get past today, and the Royals go to D.C. for three games with the Nationals, and then to Atlanta to face a Braves team that might be eliminated by then.
