I'm not sure why everyone is so worried about what the other teams are doing right now. KC needs to get to at least 88 wins (30-21 from here on out) to have a realistic shot at this.

TC makes a good point. With that being said, let's look at this week's pitching matchups:

8/6: Ventura vs. Collmenter
The 'Backs have won 7 of the last 8 this guy has started, but he's been lucky with 5.25 runs per game support during that stretch. Our lineup has 11 total ABs against him, so not much to glean from that. He doesn't walk people, but we don't take walks so whatevs. Yordano had a stinker in Boston, but has 7 Ks each of the last 2 starts. I expect him to get this pud lineup to K a few times, and we win once we get to Arizona's pen.
Advantage: Royals

8/7: Guthrie vs. Nuno
Nuno has given up as many homers as Guts (19), and opponents have a higher Slug and OPS against him than our loser. In this battle of the losers, our power hitting studs come up on top. Get your brooms out.
Advantage: Royals

8/8 Vargas vs. Bumgardner
Our guy Vargy fell apart on Saturday, and in his last start vs. the Mets, Bumgardner when 9 with a shutout. Bumgardner's had a few stinkers this year, but averages a strikeout per inning, and was deserving of his spot on the NL all star team. I'm hoping for some Vargas magic, but reality says we lose this one 5-1.
Advantage: Giants

8/9 Shields vs. Hudson
Buckle up kids. This one should be fun. Sung Woo will be attending his first Royals game this night, and if we let him down, then we don't deserve to be on the field. Hudson was also deserving of his spot in the All Star game, but is 39. Our guys are like, all younger than 30. Young people are better than old people. Fact. Shields has been an ace his last 3 starts, and his game Sunday afternoon was masterful. I think James goes deep into this game, and Davis/Holland do the dirty work on the back end. Royals 3 Giants 1.
Advantage: Royals

8/10 Duffy vs. Lincecum
This game features one of the best young lefties around. He has a 1.1 WHIP and a 2.39 ERA. His name is Danny Duffy you bastards. Lincecum still gets a lot of strikeouts, but has not been the same pitcher since 2011. Is it the drugs? I assume yes. Royals break it open, and Escobar hits his first inside the park home run. Royals 8 Giants 3.
Advantage: Royals

4-1 in our next 5. That would put us at 62-54. 8 over with a .534 winning percentage, which is better than Toronto right now. Guys, let's go. We face some serious pitchers against the Giants, but let's go.

#BeRoyalKC

Alright guys, don't panic if we drop one tonight. Bumgardner is the real deal, and I just don't trust Vargas again yet. But if can get a lead, our lock down pen is rested, which is as peggy po as it gets.

Vargas has given up 6+ ER four times this year... In the previous three times, he followed up each of those duds by being a stud the next time out.

May 4 vs DET: 5 IP, 11 H, 7 ER
May 9 @ SEA: 7 IP, 3 H, 0 ER

May 19 vs CHI: 4.2 IP, 8 H, 7 ER
May 25 @ LAA: 6.1 IP, 7 H, 1 ER

June 27 vs LAA: 4 IP, 9 H, 6 ER
July 2 @ MIN: 7 IP, 4 H, 0 ER

Aug 2 @ OAK: 4.1 IP, 7 H, 7 ER
Aug 8 vs SF: ????????????????????
